Einstein Toolkit Community:
The Physics Department at the University of Idaho is seeking to hire two tenure-track faculty members at the assistant professor level. We are looking for candidates who will establish impactful research programs in experimental, theoretical, or computational physics that complement or expand upon the department’s and College of Science’s existing strengths. Current departmental research includes astrophysics (such as numerical relativity), biophysics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and planetary science. The college is also advancing initiatives in biomedical and bioengineering fields. Notably, the University of Idaho, currently classified as a Carnegie R2 institution, is projected to achieve R1 status by 2025, highlighting its commitment to research excellence. (For more information, see: https://tinyurl.com/2vn47vbs .) The new faculty members will mentor undergraduate and graduate students in the physics program. The University places a high priority on hiring faculty with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
Instructional responsibilities typically include teaching one three-credit-hour course per semester at the undergraduate and/or graduate level. These courses support university-wide physics education and the department’s degree programs, which include B.A., B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. programs in physics.
Scholarship responsibilities involve conducting research in physics, disseminating findings through publications in refereed professional journals and presentations at conferences, and securing external funding to support research activities.
Outreach responsibilities include participating in community engagement activities and contributing to the professional physics community through scholarly efforts. Service responsibilities include serving on committees at the department, college, and/or university level.
