Assistant Professor Position in Computational Mathematics and Physics

Description:

New York University seeks applicants for two faculty positions in computational mathematics and physics, each of which will be a 50/50 joint appointment between the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics. These are the first appointments in a larger, multi-year Integrated Science Initiative that will build on NYU’s collaborative culture by recruiting faculty whose research makes explicit connections between departments and promises synergistic advances in fields ripe for cross-boundary breakthroughs. Within the Physics Department, we anticipate that one of the new faculty members will join the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics (CCPP) and the other will join the Center for Soft Matter Research (CSMR).

The Department of Mathematics, part of the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences, has a long and distinguished history in both pure and applied mathematics, with an impressive record of accomplishments in applications to Physics. Both CCPP and CSMR are leading research centers in their respective fields, and include faculty who already are collaborating with members of the Courant Institute. The CCPP currently has eighteen faculty members who work in astrophysics, cosmology and particle physics. Through this new faculty position, we wish to substantially broaden the research being done in CCPP to include geophysics, geochemistry, geobiology, planetary, and/or exoplanetary science using cutting-edge computational and mathematical techniques, to support future anticipated growth in these areas. CSMR currently has ten faculty members pursuing research at the interface between physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, using laboratory, theoretical, and computational tools. By hiring in the overlaps between Courant, CCPP, and CSMR we seek to build programs in cross-disciplinary research areas such as climate change, the origin of life, or other fields.

More information about current research programs in the Department of Physics and its centers can be found online at https://physics.nyu.edu, and for the Department of Mathematics at https://math.nyu.edu/.

The openings are at the rank of tenure-track Assistant Professor. The successful candidates will have a Ph.D. and are expected to establish a leading research program in their field. The candidates will be expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, with the equivalent of half the standard load at each department. The appointment can begin as early as September 1, 2024, pending administrative and budgetary approval.

Applications received on or before November 27, 2023 will receive full consideration.

Both Arts and Science and the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences are at the heart of a leading research university that spans the globe. We seek scholars of the highest caliber that embody the diversity of the United States as well as the global society in which we live. We strongly encourage applications from women, racial and ethnic minorities, and other individuals who are under-represented in the profession, across color, creed, race, ethnic and national origin, physical ability, gender and sexual identity, or any other legally protected basis. NYU affirms the value of differing perspectives on the world as we strive to build the strongest possible university with the widest reach.

Assistant Professor Position in Experimental Particle Physics

Description:

The Department of Physics at New York University (NYU) invites applications for a faculty position in experimental particle physics (EPP). Applications will be considered at the tenure-track Assistant Professor level. We are looking for applications from innovative researchers with records of excellence who would add new directions to the NYU EPP group’s research.

The NYU EPP group has been a National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported member of the ATLAS experiment since 2006. The group’s primary physics interests are Higgs properties and Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios. The group’s current High Luminosity-Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) ATLAS upgrade involvements include development of the missing transverse momentum trigger and of the Liquid Argon Calorimeter back-end electronics. The group also has a leadership role in the milliQan experiment at the LHC. The NYU EPP group benefits from close connections with our Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics, which includes a broad set of activities in particle theory, astrophysics, and cosmology.

The successful candidate is expected to work as an active member of our EPP group, to initiate and lead searches for BSM physics, lead outreach efforts, and to contribute to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. While not required, previous ATLAS experience, including that on the ATLAS HL-LHC upgrade, is highly valued. We strongly encourage applications that include plans to devote some effort to non-ATLAS BSM experiments. We are especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and/or service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. The Department values diversity among its faculty and welcomes applications from women, persons with disabilities, protected veterans, and underrepresented minorities. The anticipated start date is September 1, 2024, pending administrative and budgetary approval.

Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2023.
