Assistant Professor in Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

The University of Connecticut (UConn) is pleased to invite applications for a full-time tenure track
faculty position in the Department of Physics in Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO)
Physics at the rank of Assistant Professor, to begin in August 2021. An appointment at the
Associate Professor level may be considered for an exceptional candidate. We are particularly
interested in quantum dynamics and ultrafast processes in AMO science. The department
currently has three funded groups working in experimental ultrafast laser and FEL interactions
with atoms and molecule, so the ability to collaborate with experimentalists is a high priority. The
successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to build a strong research program in
Theoretical AMO Physics with an interest in collaborating with existing experimental groups.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to research and scholarship through extramural funding, high quality publications, impact as measured through citations, and national
recognition such as honorific awards. The successful candidate will share a deep commitment to
effective instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including Studio Physics,
innovative courses and instruction methods, and mentoring of students in research, outreach,
and professional development. Successful candidates will also be expected to broaden
participation among members of under-represented groups; demonstrate through research,
teaching, and/or public engagement the commitment to, and support of, diversity in the learning
experience; integrate multicultural experiences into instructional methods and research tools;
and provide leadership in developing pedagogical techniques designed to meet the needs of
diverse learning styles and intellectual interests.
