The Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology invites applications for a tenure-track professorial position in theoretical condensed matter, quantum information, or AMO (atomic, molecular, and optical) physics. We are primarily interested in candidates for a tenure-track appointment, but will consider applications for a tenured professorial position. We are seeking highly qualified candidates committed to a career in research and teaching.

Please apply online at http://www.pma.caltech.edu/physics-search. 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 to be pursued at Caltech. Applicants should also 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. Consideration of applications will begin on Dec. 1, 2011.
