Faculty - Position #AS-0002-89
Assistant Professor Computational Condensed-Matter Physicist Department of Physics
The Department of Physics at Boise State University seeks a computational condensed-matter physicist with a research program in the physics of nanomaterials for a tenure-track position at the level of assistant professor, starting Fall 2009. Research experience in computer-based calculations of electronic properties of nanoscale systems of ferroelectric, multiferroic, spintronic, or optoelectronic materials and their applications is desirable. This new faculty member will play an active role in a planned future interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Materials Science at Boise State.
The successful candidate will have a commitment to excellence in research, to building a vigorous externally funded research program that involves graduate and undergraduate students, and to high-quality teaching. See www.boisestate.edu/physics for more details.
At a minimum you should have:
- Ph.D. in physics or a closely related discipline relevant to the physics of nanomaterials
- Research experience after the Ph.D. relevant to the physics of nanomaterials
Application Procedures: Please e-mail a cover letter, CV, detailed research plans and a statement of teaching philosophy, plus contact information for 3 references, to physics@boisestate.edu, with the subject line "Computational physicist AS-0002-89" (preferred) OR fax (208) 426-4330.
Review of applications will begin December 21, 2008 and will continue until finalists are identified.
