Faculty Position in Theoretical Optical Physics
We seek candidates who will establish a vigorous,
externally funded research program and will collaborate with the
experimental research groups within the Department.
The appointment
is expected to broaden and complement existing research programs in
quantum optics, nonlinear optical properties of materials, and
condensed matter physics. We are especially interested in candidates
who can contribute to the newly overlapping areas of quantum optics
and condensed matter. Additional collaborative research opportunities
exist through the interdisciplinary
Center for Advanced Studies in
Photonics Research
(http://www.umbc.edu/caspr).
In exceptional cases,
the appointment may be made at a higher rank. A Ph.D. in Physics or
in a closely related field and the ability to effectively teach across
the undergraduate and graduate physics curriculum are
required. Postdoctoral experience is desirable and start-up funds are
available. The department currently consists of 19 tenure-track
faculty,
25
research faculty,
45
graduate students
and approximately 80 majors.
The department offers a
BS in Physics,
and both MS and
Ph.D. degrees in
Applied Physics
and in
Atmospheric Physics.
Research
expenditures currently exceed $6M per year. (For more information see:
