Assistant Professor in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics

Assistant Professor In Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics

The Physics and Astronomy (P&A) Department in the College of Natural Sciences at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa (UHM) invites applications for a permanent, full-time (9-month) tenure-track Assistant Professor with a broad range of research interests in theoretical particle physics to begin approximately August 1, 2025. The ideal candidate will overlap with as well as bring a new direction to the current activities in the high energy theory group that include: neutrino physics and astrophysics, physics beyond the Standard Model, dark matter physics, flavor physics and CP violation, gravitational wave physics, and cosmology.

The experimental high energy physics activities at the University of Hawai'i presently include studies of CP violation in heavy quark decays, neutrino physics and astrophysics, radio detection of high energy particles, direct dark matter detection, studies of cosmic rays using satellites and balloons, and development of new particle detectors, accelerators, and associated instrumentation. The Department also collaborates closely with the Institute for Astronomy (IfA).
