Assistant professor position, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA
The Department of Physics at the University of Alabama @ Birmingham (UAB) is looking to hire a dynamic assistant professor and experimental condensed matter physicist who will enhance our research program and student training on Materials Under Extreme and Non-equilibrium Conditions. In 2023, the department received a $8M grant from the Department of Energy to lead the Stewardship Science Academic Alliance DoE Center of Excellence "Center for Additively Manufactured Complex Systems under Extremes"(CAMCSE). It also received the 2023 American Physical Society’s Improving Undergraduate Physics Education Award, and was selected as a 2023-2025 APS Department of Distinction.
