Tenure-Track Assistant Professor Position in Theoretical Quantum Condensed Matter, Quantum Optics, and Quantum Information Physics

Job description

Description Center for Quantum Phenomena, Department of Physics, Arts and Science New York University The Department of Physics at New York University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the Center for Quantum Phenomena (CQP). The start date is September 1, 2026, pending administrative and budgetary approval. A successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in physics or a related discipline and will be expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels at NYU, while establishing a leading research program in theoretical quantum condensed-matter physics, quantum optics, quantum information sciences, or a related field. Research programs in the CQP include terahertz spectroscopy of correlated materials, quantum optics and ultracold atoms, out-of-equilibrium and strongly driven quantum systems, topological phases, spintronics, Moire materials and color centers in wide-bandgap insulators. We seek candidates whose research will integrate with and enhance these efforts, while also establishing new and complementary directions in quantum science. Qualifications: Successful candidates will have a Ph.D. in physics or a related discipline, and one or more...
