Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Experimental High Energy Physics (neutrinos)

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Experimental High Energy Physics. Applications from exceptional applicants at the associate or full professor rank will also be considered. The HEP group at Notre Dame consists of 7 experimental and 4 theoretical faculty, doing experimental research with CMS, DUNE, MINERνA, EMPHATIC, and NA61, along with instrumentation and computing R&D. Our theory group does research on collider, astrophysical, and cosmological tests of the Standard Model and its possible extensions. The successful candidate will be expected to complement our efforts on neutrino experiments and establish leadership within the relevant experimental collaboration(s).

We seek faculty members committed to developing and sustaining an environment of inclusive excellence in research, teaching, and service. The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to develop a highly successful research program, attract independent research funding, teach effectively at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and engage with students from diverse backgrounds. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent advanced degree. Salary and rank will be commensurate with the successful applicant’s experience and research accomplishments. Position duties include research, teaching and service. The expected start date is August 2025.

The Department of Physics at Notre Dame has 46 tenured and tenure-track faculty; another 26 research, teaching and concurrent faculty, as well as professors of the practice; more than 100 graduate students; and about 100 undergraduate physics majors.
