Emory University Department of Physics seeks applicants for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level in Experimental Physics beginning fall 2009. The Department of Physics is currently building research strengths in two areas, soft condensed matter and biophysics, as part of an ongoing departmental expansion following our recent move into new research and teaching facilities. Candidates who complement one or both of these areas will be given preference, but strong applicants in any field of physics are invited to apply. Candidates are expected to establish an independent, externally funded research program, and to be committed to excellence in teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Applicants should send curriculum vitae and a statement of research plans to:

Chair, Faculty Search Committee
Emory University
Department of Physics
400 Dowman Drive
Mail stop 1131/002/1AB
Atlanta, GA 30322-2430

Arrangements should be made for at least three letters of reference to be sent independently. Electronic applications are also accepted, at search@physics.emory.edu. Questions about the search should be directed to weeks@physics.emory.edu. For more information about the Department, please visit the website http://www.physics.emory.edu. Consideration of the candidates will commence on November 1, 2009. Emory University is an AA/EOE.
