The Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Utah
invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in
Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at the rank of Assistant
Professor. Exceptional candidates at a higher rank, Associate or
Full Professor level, will also be considered. The anticipated
start date is August 1, 2027.

We seek applicants with outstanding research accomplishments and
the potential to develop an internationally recognized research
