Employment Opportunities
Associate Teaching Professor & Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies
Description
The University of Notre Dame Department of Physics and Astronomy is seeking a physics educator to serve as the Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies (ADUS), and to coordinate and teach part of the engineering physics course sequence.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy graduates roughly 30 undergraduate majors each year and teaches calculus-based physics courses to approximately 550 life science/pre-health students and 800 engineering undergraduates.
Working closely with the faculty Director of Undergraduate Studies, the duties of the ADUS will include advising physics majors and tracking student progress, registration for all undergraduate courses taught by the department and handling of associated administrative matters, serving on departmental committees based and experience and expertise, and assistance with departmental and university events and academic fairs involving current and prospective undergraduate physics majors.
For the two-semester engineering physics sequence, responsibilities will include teaching one section each semester, supervising Teaching Assistants for both Engineering Physics I and II weekly tutorial sessions, and to serve as an advising resource for other faculty assigned to the engineering physics sequence to facilitate continuity of the format and pedagogical approach.
This is a full-time, 12-month non-tenure track faculty position. The anticipated starting rank will be Associate Teaching Professor, though a higher rank may be negotiated based on prior experience. The anticipated start date is August 2023.
The Department is committed to diversifying its faculty and encourages applications from women and members of traditionally underrepresented groups.
Qualifications
A successful applicant is expected to have a Ph.D. in Physics, Physics Education, or a related field. Teaching experience is required. Experience in academic advising and administration or interest in Physics Education Research (PER) is desirable but not required.
Application Instructions
A completed application will consist of a cover letter, a detailed CV listing prior teaching experience, a teaching statement, and three letters of recommendation. Review of complete applications will begin on May 15, 2023, and continue until the position has been filled. Any application completed prior to May 31 will receive a full evaluation.

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.
