The Center for Theoretical Physics, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is seeking applications for a junior faculty appointment in high-energy, nuclear, and/or quantum physics. We will consider candidates doing relevant research at any energy scale, including work in areas that overlap with other branches of physics or with disciplines beyond physics, such as the intersection of gravity, condensed matter physics, and quantum information, or the intersection of physics and mathematics. Candidates will be evaluated on the basis of potential contribution to theoretical physics research, and to the undergraduate and graduate teaching programs of the Department of Physics. Current faculty in the Center for Theoretical Physics span a broad range of interests, including QCD, strongly coupled matter, electroweak physics, unification, cosmology, string theory, and quantum computation.

Faculty members at MIT conduct research, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, and supervise graduate and undergraduate participation in research. Candidates must show promise in teaching as well as in research. A Ph.D. in physics or physics-related discipline is required by the start of employment. Preference will be given to applicants at the Assistant Professor level.

The application deadline is November 20, 2015. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a brief description of research interests and goals (the latter NOT TO EXCEED 3 PAGES IN LENGTH). Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be uploaded. Only web submissions will be accepted.

Any enquiries should be directed to Professor Hong Liu, Search Committee Chair, at ctp-facultysearch@mit.edu. Candidates who are uncertain whether they fit into a particular search should contact the search chair.

MIT is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
