Faculty Position in Experimental and Theoretical Physics

The Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy at Caltech invites applications for Professorial positions in experimental and theoretical physics. We are primarily interested in candidates for a tenure-track appointment, but will consider applications for tenured professorial positions as well. The initial term of appointment for a non-tenured position is normally four years and appointment is contingent upon completion of the Ph.D. degree. We are seeking highly qualified candidates committed to a career in research and teaching. We are considering applications in all areas of experimental physics, with a particular interest in all areas of high-energy and atomic physics; and in all areas of theoretical physics, with a priority in theoretical high energy physics and string theory. Caltech is generally methodical and thorough in its professorial searches, and may take several years to fill a position in a targeted field, so failure to make an appointment in any given year should not be misinterpreted as a loss of interest in that field. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of papers published and submitted (with refereed papers indicated), and a brief essay describing the applicant's current research interests and the program of research he or she proposes to carry out at Caltech. Applicants are also requested to have at least three letters of reference sent to the address below; the names and email addresses of the referees should be included in the application.

Applications should be sent to Professorship in Experimental Physics or Theoretical Physics, c/o Staffing Assistant, MC 130-33, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA. Consideration of applications will begin December 1, 2005, and will continue until the position is filled.
