FTPI Faculty Positions

The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, invites applications for a professorial appointment at the William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute (FTPI). Candidates with distinguished scholarly accomplishments in theoretical physics will be considered. The School of Physics and Astronomy has strong and well-supported groups conducting research in various subfields of physics.    

The appointment is expected to be at the tenured faculty level (qualified applicants who are current assistant professors will also be considered). The FTPI affiliation typically provides additional research opportunities through a reduced teaching load. The position remains open until filled.

Applicants should apply through the Interfolio website.

Postdoc

The project aims at combining three primary data sets (JWST NEXUS spectroscopy, Euclid Deep Field North (EDFN) imaging and slitless spectroscopy, and simulated Roman High Latitude Spectroscopic Survey data) to construct a secure JWST-based redshift reference catalog for Euclid/Roman-selected galaxies brighter than H < 24. The reference catalog will be used to quantify sample purity (correct redshifts), completeness (recovered sources), and contamination as function of redshift and magnitude.

Postdoc

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to state-of-the-art experimental studies of superconducting quantum devices, and benefit from advanced measurement and fabrication facilities. They will participate in all stages of these experiments, from initial concepts to device fabrication, measurements, data discussion and analysis. They will interact extensively with the PI, graduate and undergraduate students and other postdocs in the group.

The School of Physics and Astronomy provides significant service to the University through the teaching of introductory physics courses. In a given academic year, approximately 4,000 students take a class from the School. There are approximately 170 physics and astrophysics majors that take upper division courses and 180 graduate students in the physics and astrophysics programs combined. There are 55 tenure/tenure-track faculty as well as a number of teaching faculty who are instrumental in the teaching mission of the School. Approximately half of our graduate students also contribute to the teaching mission through teaching assistantships, which involves leading undergraduate labs. The person in this position will interface with staff, faculty, and TAs in support of the School's academic programs.
