The Louisiana State University Department of Physics & Astronomy invites applications for an open-rank tenure-track or tenured faculty position at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor level.

Areas of interest include theoretical gravity, quantum and semiclassical gravity, quantum field theory in curved spacetime, relativistic quantum information, numerical relativity, time-domain and multimessenger astrophysics, computational high-energy astrophysics, nuclear astrophysics, and relativistic plasma astrophysics.

The successful candidate will be expected to establish or strengthen an independent research program, teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, supervise graduate student research, and contribute to departmental and professional service. Collaboration across LSU’s physics, astronomy, gravitational-wave, and computational research programs is encouraged.

A PhD in physics, astronomy, or a closely related field is required. Rank will be commensurate with experience and accomplishments.

The anticipated start date is Fall 2027.
