Postdoctoral Position in Condensed Matter Experiment
Ghimire Research group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University of Notre Dame has an opening for a postdoctoral position in experimental condensed matter physics. In particular we seek a candidate with strong background in bulk single crystal growth and magnetotransport studies of quantum materials. Topics of interest include magnetic topological materials (kagome magnets are relates systems), chiral magnets and novel antiferromagnets such as altermagnets.
- CV, including list of publications
- Statement of research experience and interests
- Three letters of reference
Postdoctoral Position in Condensed Matter Theory
The group of Edwin Huang in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Notre Dame has an opening for a postdoctoral position in condensed matter theory. In particular, we seek candidates with a strong background in the theory of correlated quantum materials and especially those with experience in computational quantum many-body methods. Topics of interest include unconventional superconductivity, non-Fermi liquid phases, and spectroscopic properties of quantum materials. Besides performing research in these topics, the successful candidate will have the unique opportunity to interact closely with newly established experimental condensed matter groups in the Stavropoulos Center for Complex Quantum Matter.
The position is for two years and may be extended to a third year upon mutual agreement.
- Cover letter
- CV, including list of publications
- Statement of research experience and interests (max 2 pages)
- Two letters of reference
The Department is committed to diversifying, and encourages applications from women and members of traditionally underrepresented groups.
Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Experimental High Energy Physics
Description
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Experimental High Energy Physics. Applications from exceptional researchers at the associate professor rank will also be considered. The HEP group at Notre Dame consists of 7 experimental and 5 theoretical faculty, doing experimental research with CMS, DUNE, MINERνA, EMPHATIC, and NA61, along with instrumentation and computing R&D. Our theory group does research on low-energy, collider, and astrophysical tests of the Standard Model and its possible extensions. We seek faculty members committed to developing and sustaining an environment of inclusive excellence in research, teaching, and service. The successful candidate will be expected to complement our efforts either on the CMS experiment or in neutrino physics. Such a candidate must demonstrate the ability to develop a highly successful research program, establish leadership within the relevant experimental collaboration(s), attract independent research funding, teach effectively at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and engage with students from diverse backgrounds. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent advanced degree. Salary and rank will be commensurate with the successful applicant’s experience and research accomplishments. The expected start date is August 2024.
The Department of Physics at Notre Dame has 47 tenured and tenure-track faculty; another 25 research, teaching and concurrent faculty, as well as professors of the practice; more than 110 graduate students; and about 110 undergraduate physics majors. Additional information about the department and the College of Science can be found at http://physics.nd.edu and http://science.nd.edu respectively.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications, detailed research plans, and a statement of teaching and mentoring. Candidates must also arrange for at least three letters of recommendation. Review of completed applications will begin on September 1, 2023, with any application received prior to Nov. 4 being given full consideration.

Tenure-track Faculty in Condensed Matter Physics
The Stavropoulos Center for Complex Quantum Matter at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Notre Dame invites applications for two faculty positions in topics closely related to the Center’s profile (https://quantummatter.nd.edu/).
One position will be in experimental condensed matter physics. While the current experimental needs of the Center are for the expertise of colleagues working within the broad area of out-of-equilibrium studies, spectroscopic studies and structural investigation of quantum matter, or high pressure study of novel materials, exceptional candidates from all experimental subfields of condensed matter are encouraged to apply.
The other position will be in theoretical condensed matter physics. While the current theory needs of the Center are for the expertise within a broad spectrum of computational condensed matter theory, such as density functional theory, quantum information, or dynamical mean field theory, exceptional candidates from all areas of theoretical condensed matter physics will be considered.
The appointments will be made at assistant, associate, or full professor level, in accordance with the experience and research achievements of the candidates.
The condensed matter group at Notre Dame consists of 6 experimental and 4 theoretical faculty members, specializing in hard condensed matter, quantum materials, complex networks, and biological physics, associated to the newly established Stavropoulos Center for Complex Quantum Matter, led by László Forró, the Aurora and Thomas Marquez Chair Professor of Physics. The Center's mission is to synthesize materials of interest for novel technologies and to study them with cutting-edge experimental and theoretical methods.
We seek faculty members committed to developing and sustaining an environment of inclusive excellence in research, teaching, and service. The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to develop a highly successful research program, attract independent research funding, teach effectively at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and engage with students from diverse backgrounds. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent advanced degree. Salary and rank will be commensurate with the successful applicant’s experience and research accomplishments. The starting date is foreseen for the second half of 2024.
The Department of Physics at Notre Dame has 45 tenured and tenure-track faculty; another 22 research, teaching and concurrent faculty; more than 100 graduate students; and about 120 undergraduate physics majors. Additional information about the department and the College of Science can be found at http://physics.nd.edu and http://science.nd.edu respectively.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications, detailed research plans, and a statement of teaching and mentoring. Candidates must also arrange for at least three letters of recommendation. Review of applications will begin on November 15 and will continue until the positions have been filled.
