Detailed Description:

This prestigious position, a result of an award from the Henry Luce Foundation, includes exceptional career development support along with a competitive salary and a generous start-up package. The award terms limit the position to female candidates who have a doctorate in physics and are US citizens or permanent residents. The successful candidate should demonstrate the potential for excellence in undergraduate teaching, and the capacity to establish a vigorous research program tailored to undergraduates. The candidate will also have the opportunity to play a key role in the burgeoning Physics-Engineering program; and help develop a new Physics-Community Partnership Program (P-CoPP) that will partner undergraduates with female mentors from industry and R1 institutions. These initiatives are strategically designed to promote diversity and inclusion in STEM, and increase retention and success of underrepresented students in STEM graduate programs and careers. Given these initiatives, preference will be given to research expertise in applied experimental physics, though all research areas are welcome.
