Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Experimental Low-Energy Nuclear Physics

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for a tenure track faculty position in Experimental Low-Energy Nuclear Physics.  The position is expected to be filled at the assistant professor level, but applications from exceptional researchers at higher ranks will also be considered.

The Nuclear Physics group presently consists of nine experimental and four theoretical tenure track faculty studying problems in nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure, fundamental symmetries, and nuclear applications. The successful candidate is expected to develop a research program in low-energy nuclear physics centered around the use of the Notre Dame Nuclear Science Laboratory (https://isnap.nd.edu) or CASPAR (https://caspar.nd.edu). Opportunities also exist for additional experimental programs at nearby facilities such as ATLAS and FRIB.

We seek faculty members committed to developing and sustaining an environment of inclusive excellence in research, teaching, and service. The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to develop a highly successful research program, attract independent research funding, teach effectively at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and engage with students from diverse backgrounds. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent advanced degree. Salary and rank will be commensurate with the successful applicant’s experience and research accomplishments. Position duties include research, teaching and service. The expected start date is August 2026.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Notre Dame has 47 tenured and tenure-track faculty; another 29 research, teaching and concurrent faculty, as well as professors of the practice; more than 100 graduate students; and ~100 undergraduate physics majors. Additional information about the department and the College of Science can be found at http://physics.nd.edu and http://science.nd.edu respectively.

The Department is committed to diversifying its faculty, and encourages applications from women and members of traditionally underrepresented groups.
