Position description The Physics Department at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant
Professor in a broad open search. The emphasis for the Open search will be in the following areas: Space Sciences, theory or experiment, including space and solar plasma physics, gravitational waves, black hole imaging, gamma ray astrophysics, multi-messenger astronomy, radio cosmology, cosmic rays, and dark matter; Astrophysics experiment including gravity wave detection and space plasma physics; Observational and
theoretical astrophysics focused on the utilization and development of data science techniques and machine learning; and experimental Nuclear and Particle physics focused on the study of Fundamental Symmetries of nature, including CP and time reversal symmetry, family and lepton number symmetries, and matter-antimatter symmetry. Berkeley Physics is conducting two other tenure-track faculty searches. If your research
area overlaps with another search, candidates should submit applications to each relevant search separately. Please note that applications cannot be transferred between searches. Berkeley Physics and its partners are committed to establishing cultures that nurture scientific identity and remove barriers to entry to strengthen pathways into careers. To that end, we strive to work and learn together in a positive and
