Assistant Professor - Quantum Experimentalist

The Department of Physics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst invites applications for a faculty position in quantum physics. This is a broad search welcoming outstanding candidates whose research advances the understanding, exploration, or control of quantum systems. We are particularly interested in quantum matter and quantum many-body phenomena, while remaining open to compelling research directions across quantum physics.

The department’s hiring priority is an experimental physicist at the tenure-track Assistant Professor level. We seek candidates with an original scientific vision and the ability to establish or further develop a distinctive, independent research program. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, strongly correlated quantum matter, quantum materials, quantum magnetism, unconventional superconductivity, topological phenomena, and non-equilibrium quantum dynamics. These examples are illustrative rather than restrictive: we welcome approaches that connect existing areas or open new directions.

Exceptionally qualified candidates working in theoretical quantum matter are encouraged to contact the search committee Chair (Prof. Tigran Sedrakyan, tsedrakyanss.edu) to present their research interests and vision, and to discuss opportunities.
