Job description:

The Department of Physics at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York is seeking to fill a tenure-track faculty position in experimental physics in the area of experimental high-energy particle physics that overlaps with quantum sciences in detector technology and/or information processing.

The search is focused on early career faculty at the assistant or associate professor rank. Successful candidate is expected to become a member of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN to join the existing efforts of the CMS group at UB, with options to pursue other interests such as smaller experiments, detector R+D, or future collider efforts. Current efforts of the CMS group include work on silicon tracker detectors, as well as reconstruction, calibration, and identification of hadronic jets. We engage in a broad program of searches for physics beyond the standard model, as well as precision measurements of standard model processes. Future efforts will also include work on new collider activities. The HEP experimental group works in close collaboration with our theory colleagues in the department and data scientists from Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences at UB.

The Department of Physics is entering a period of significant growth. This current position is part of a multi-year, multi-faculty recruitment effort in quantum science and technology supported by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Office of the Provost and the State of New York. This search is part of that effort, allowing for potential collaborations in quantum sciences.

University at Buffalo is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and, in keeping with our commitment, welcomes all to apply including veterans and individuals with disabilities. We are deeply committed to improving diversity, equity, and inclusion of underrepresented groups in our faculty. Members of groups underrepresented in academia are especially encouraged to apply. Our faculty strives for strong mentorship of junior members, especially from such underrepresented groups, and are sensitive to avoid practices that have been traditionally exclusionary toward them. We strive to provide flexible accommodations to all of our new faculty to overcome the unique challenges they face and to help them succeed in their academic endeavors. 

Please direct questions to Salvatore Rappoccio (srrappoc AT buffalo.edu). Application materials should be sent via the weblink provided (https://www.ubjobs.buffalo.edu/postings/43665).

Applicants are expected to submit: 

- a curriculum vitae (including or in addition to a list of publications)

- a research statement

- a teaching and mentorship statement

- 3 letters of recommendation (will be contacted via email)

Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, though only complete applications with materials submitted by 4-October are guaranteed to be reviewed. It is expected that interviews will occur in November and December of 2023.
