Department of Physics & Astronomy
Assistant or Associate Professor, Medical Physics and Health Physics
The LSU Department of Physics & Astronomy invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the Medical Physics and Health Physics Program. An appointment at the Assistant Professor level is expected, though exceptionally well-qualified candidates may be considered at the Associate Professor level.
Areas of interest include medical imaging physics, nuclear medicine physics and theranostics, radiotherapy physics, radiobiology, and related fields. The successful candidate will conduct research, teach in LSU’s CAMPEP-accredited graduate program, and supervise MS and PhD students.
The program is a partnership between LSU and the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center and offers access to radiotherapy and imaging equipment, high-performance computing, and other research infrastructure. Clinical engagement is possible but is not required.
Qualifications: PhD in medical physics, physics, or a closely related field, with demonstrated engagement in medical physics through postdoctoral training, research, or scholarly activity. Associate Professor candidates should have at least three years of experience at the Assistant Professor level and a strong record of research, teaching, mentoring, and professional recognition.
