The Department of Physics, Computer Science and Engineering at Christopher Newport University invites applications for a tenure-track position in Physics, effective August, 2022. Applicants must be committed to creating
an inclusive learning environment and demonstrate the potential for excellence in teaching and research with undergraduate and Master’s level graduate students.
For this position, an active scholarly program in nuclear and/or particle physics is required. The successful candidate will also hold a joint appointment as a staff scientist at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator
Facility (JLab), and thus a research focus related to the science of JLab is required. Previous post-doctoral research experience is strongly preferred. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to join the department’s existing Nuclear Physics
group, which leads a program of experiments at JLab, and is supported through external operating and equipment grants from the National Science Foundation.
The nominal teaching load for this tenure track appointment is 2-2. The Ph.D. in Physics or a closely related field is required for appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor. In some cases, exceptionally well-qualified
candidates may be considered for appointment at a higher rank. Phi Beta Kappa membership is highly desirable.

majors and a Master’s program with a total of about 520 students. The Department has a variety of laboratories in support of both teaching and research in cybersecurity, high-speed data acquisition, complex data analysis and simulation, communications, networking,
robotics, and software engineering. Furthermore, our faculty have close relationships with technology companies and nearby federal labs such as the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) and NASALangley Research Center. CNU is
also a member institution of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. Candidates wishing to know more about the department and its programs are invited to visit http://cnu.edu/academics/departments/pcse/.
