Assistant Professor of Physics (Experimental Nuclear and Hadronic Physics)

William & Mary
Williamsburg, VA
Full-time

Position Summary

The Department of Physics at William & Mary, a public university of the Commonwealth of Virginia, seeks applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level in Experimental Nuclear and Hadronic Physics that will begin August 10, 2025.

The Department of Physics is comprised of 26 instructional faculty members and more than 15 physicists in research positions.

Three faculty members currently perform research in experimental hadronic and electroweak physics at nearby Jefferson Lab, and three faculty in nuclear theory work closely with the Theory Center at Jefferson Lab.

Duties include research, teaching, and service to the University. The applicant is expected to establish and maintain a vibrant research program that complements and enhances the existing strengths in the department and inspires a highly motivated graduate student body of approximately 50 PhD students, and a substantial number of undergraduate majors who actively participate in research.

The teaching expectation is the traditional 1 course per semester for a research university and successful applicants will possess the skills to teach compelling courses in physics at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

During the pre-tenure period, the position will be partially supported by the Physics Division at Jefferson Lab and should therefore have a research focus on the existing and future program at Jefferson Lab’s Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF).

Therefore, the successful candidate must demonstrate evidence of scholarly achievement in the field of experimental nuclear or hadronic physics.

Required Qualifications Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in physics with experience in experimental nuclear or hadronic physics at the time appointment begins.

Preferred Qualifications Potential as a mentor and instructor for undergraduate and graduate students demonstrated by approaches described in the statements of research and teaching interests.
