Job description:
ShanghaiTech University has recently opened a new Center for Fundamental Physics and is seeking applicants for one or more faculty appointments at the rank of Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in all areas of fundamental particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics, string theory and quantum field theory. Senior appointments are also possible for candidates with distinguished records. The new center is associated with the School of Physical Science and Technology. The current faculty includes Chia-Jui Chou, Alexey Koshelev, Alexander Ochirov and Yi Yang, as well as Xinan Zhou as a visiting scholar (affiliated with University of Chinese Academy of Sciences). ShanghaiTech offers excellent academic environment, internationally competitive salary, generous starting funds, and an additional on-campus housing benefit. Successful candidates will be expected to establish a funded and internationally recognized research program as well as teach and mentor students with excellence.
Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D. or its equivalent in physics or a closely related field at the time of appointment, should demonstrate a strong record of accomplishments in physics research and show promise in teaching as well as in future research.
Application Instructions: Interested candidates should apply with a letter describing current and planned research and teaching activities, a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, together with at least three and no more than five letters of reference sent directly to the recruitment email. The candidates who applied in the fall of 2024 will be automatically considered again and need not send new materials unless they wish to update their application materials.
International Advisory Committee: Luis Fernando Alday (Oxford), Hermann Nicolai (Max Planck Institute, Potsdam).
