Faculty positions in theoretical and experimental quantum physics at the University of Oklahoma
The Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma (OU) invites applications for five faculty appointments in the areas of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) and Condensed Matter (CM) physics. The hires are part of an initiative in fundamental research that enables quantum technology. The Center for Quantum Research and Technology (CQRT) has recently been established with support from donor endowments, the state legislature, and the university. A new state-of-the-art physics building hosts 18,000 square feet of laboratory space that meets NIST-A specifications on vibrations, temperature, humidity, and electromagnetic interference. Campus resources include cleanroom facilities and supercomputer access.
Position 1:
Director of the CQRT and Homer L. Dodge Chair in AMO or CM physics. Candidates are expected to be internationally recognized leaders in their field. The Center Director will take the lead role in determining the scientific direction of the CQRT through hiring of Center faculty and allocation of Center resources. This endowed position comes with an annual research stipend. Start-up funds commensurate with the candidate’s research agenda will be made available.
