Date: October 21, 2025
Location: San Diego
Posting: Interfolio 157466
Description:
The Department of Physics at San Diego State University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Condensed Matter Theory, starting Fall 2025. The department seeks a theorist with a strong record of research accomplishment in first-principles theoretical/computational methods, including density functional theory. The research focus can be in several areas of current interest, including but not restricted to quantum and topological materials, novel electronic, magnetic and optical behaviors, exotic phases, strongly correlated systems, and quantum information. The Department offers a bachelor’s and master’s degree in physics and a Ph.D. in computational science jointly with the University of California at Irvine.
