Tenure-Track Faculty Positions of Physics

Position Description

The Department of Physics at National Sun Yat-sen
University (NSYSU) in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, invites applications for several
tenure-track faculty positions at all ranks (assistant, associate, and full
professor), with an anticipated starting date of August 1, 2027.

NSYSU is one of Taiwan’s six Designated National Research Universities
and hosts a national key institution in semiconductor technology. The campus is
located on Sizihwan Bay, between Shoushan Mountain and the sea, near the
semiconductor and high-tech industries in southern Taiwan. The Department has
active research groups in condensed matter and materials physics, optics and
photonics, quantum information, and astrophysics and cosmology.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates specializing in experimental condensed matter physics,
which is our highest-priority area in this search. Candidates working in quantum information science, quantum computing, quantum optics, and related
areas are also strongly encouraged to apply. Outstanding candidates in
other areas of physics, including astrophysics,
will receive full consideration, and applications from theoretical, computational,
and experimental physicists are all welcome.

We seek candidates who demonstrate the potential to establish an
independent and sustainable research program, contribute actively to a
collaborative academic environment, and show a strong commitment to teaching
and mentoring students. Successful candidates are expected to teach
undergraduate and graduate courses, including the core physics curriculum. As
many courses in the Department are taught in English, the ability to teach
effectively in English is expected.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in physics or a closely related field by
the time of appointment. For applicants at the junior level, postdoctoral
research experience, particularly experience at international research
institutions, is preferred.

The Department offers a competitive start-up package, laboratory space
for experimental groups, and support for recruiting graduate students and
postdoctoral researchers. New faculty may apply for research grants from the
National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and may be nominated for
national talent programs such as the Ministry of Education’s Yushan Young
Scholar Program.

Applications should include:

A cover letter including the preferred rank and research area;

● Curriculum vitae, including a
complete publication list;

● A statement of research summarizing past
accomplishments and future plans;

● A statement of teaching
interests and plans;

● At least three letters of recommendation, sent
directly by the referees.

Please email all materials to Ms. Hsu (physaa@mail.nsysu.edu.tw) with
the subject line “Faculty Application - [Your Name]”. Referees should send
their letters to the same address.

Review of application
begins: November 30, 2026, until the positions are filled.

Anticipated starting
date: August 1, 2027

More information about the Department is available at https://phys.nsysu.edu.tw. Inquiries may be
sent to physaa@mail.nsysu.edu.tw.

NSYSU is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from
all qualified candidates regardless of gender, nationality, ethnicity,
religion, or disability, and from outstanding scientists who are enthusiastic
about developing an internationally competitive research program and
contributing to the research and educational mission of the Department of
Physics at National Sun Yat-sen University.
