The Department of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Arts & Sciences at Baylor University invites applications for a tenured faculty position at the rank of Associate or Full Professor , effective Fall 2027. We seek an established, internationally recognized leader in computational materials science whose research integrates first-principles methods with modern informatics, artificial intelligence, and
machine learning to predict, design, and understand the electronic, magnetic, optical, and topological properties of next-generation quantum materials. This position is part of a strategic cluster hire in “ Novel Quantum Materials for Next-generation Electronics, Spintronics, and Optoelectronics” , aligned with Baylor's Baylor in Deeds strategic plan (2024–2030), particularly its commitment to Broadening
Interdisciplinary Research and Impact, and responsive to federal priorities established by the National Quantum Initiative Act and the CHIPS and Science Act. The successful candidate will help support Baylor’s growing Materials Science capabilities spanning materials synthesis, advanced spectroscopic and magnetic characterization, and high-performance computation, with strong collaborative ties to faculty in Physics
& Astronomy, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and the School of Engineering & Computer Science. Position Responsibilities We expect the successful candidate to: • Lead an externally funded, internationally visible research program in computational/theoretical quantum materials, leveraging informatics-driven approaches (machine learning, high-throughput ab initio , data-driven discovery)
alongside advanced computational methods (e.g., DFT+DMFT, GW, quantum embedding, Green's function approaches, etc.). • Mentor graduate students and postdoctoral researchers and contribute to vibrant Ph.D. programs in Physics and Materials Science. • Teach undergraduate and graduate cour
