The Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics (LASSP) at Cornell University invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the assistant professor level, to begin July 1, 2025. We encourage applications in any and all areas of experimental or theoretical condensed matter physics. Review of applications will begin on November 14, 2024.
Areas of interest include (but are not limited to) biophysics; cold atoms and molecules; hard and soft condensed matter physics; quantum materials synthesis; optics; quantum information and devices; statistical mechanics of adaptive systems, information geometry, and materials; x-ray physics; and physics education research. Candidates must hold a doctorate in an appropriate field. They must have demonstrated an ability to conduct outstanding research and show promise for future excellence in research and teaching within the physics department. They should be committed to enriching the diversity and excellence of Cornell’s academic community.
For more details and to submit your application, please visit Academic Jobs Online, Position ID #28591. All applications must include: curriculum vitae; publication list; research statement (~4 pages); teaching/mentoring statement (~1 page); at least three letters of recommendation.
The research statement should include a summary of prior work and a proposal for future work. It should explain the importance of the candidate’s research, disambiguate their role in multi-author publications, and present both a short-term and long-term vision. The teaching/mentoring statement should give an account of prior teaching and mentoring experience and describe the candidate’s approach, philosophy, and ambitions. We ask applicants for all faculty positions to share their approaches to fostering learning, research, service, and outreach in a diverse community.
