Jr. Specialist - General Physics, Dept. of Physics; Pooled

The Department of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for a pool of qualified Junior Specialists to conduct research in all our disciplines including Biophysics, Condensed Matter Experimental Physics, High Energy Experimental Physics, Gravity and Relativity, Mathematical Physics, and Atomic and Molecular Physics. Screening of applicants is ongoing and will continue as needed. The number of positions varies depending on the needs of the department.

Positions may range from part-time to 100% time. Positions may also be for 1 year or less than 1 year. Appointees at this level enable research as part of a team.

Please note, there are two Jr. Specialist Pooled Recruitments. If your area of specialization is astrophysics or theoretical physics (Condensed Matter Theory or High Energy Theory), please apply for JPF
03029. If your area of specialization meets the qualifications for General Physics, please apply for this pool (JPF
03129).

The position will remain open until September 30, 2026 to accommodate department needs. If you would like to continue to be considered after that time, and the pool position is advertised again, you will need to submit a new application.

The use of a temporary research titles pool does not guarantee that an open position exists at the time you are applying. See the "Next Review Date" specified in UC Recruit to learn whether the department is currently is reviewing applications for an upcoming opening. If there is no future review date specified, your application may not be considered at this time.
