The Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy at Caltech invites applications for tenure-track positions in experimental and theoretical physics. Areas of interest to the Division include astrophysics, atomic/molecular and optical physics, condensed matter physics, gravitational physics, high energy and nuclear physics, and quantum information science. We are primarily interested in candidates at the untenured assistant professor or associate professor ranks, but will consider applications for tenured professorial positions for exceptional cases. The initial term of appointment for an untenured 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.

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 they propose to carry out at Caltech.

Applicants are also requested to have at least three letters of reference submitted online at http://www.pma.caltech.edu/physics-search/ref; the names and email addresses of the referees should be included in the application. Please apply online at http://www.pma.caltech.edu/physics-search. To ensure full consideration, complete applications should be received by January 15, 2011. However, applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Inquiries regarding the application process may be sent to joann@caltech.edu. Posted 11-3-10.
