Purdue University, Physics & Astronomy Department
West Lafayette, IN
The Department of Physics & Astronomy at Purdue University invites applications for a faculty position in Experimental Relativistic Heavy-Ion Physics to begin August 2027.
The current relativistic heavy-ion efforts in the department involve physics analyses of the RHIC/STAR/sPHENIX and LHC/CMS experiments, detector design and simulation works on the ePIC experiment at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), and AI-facilitated research on the EIC under the DOE's Genesis Mission.
The successful candidate will establish a vibrant, externally funded research program, driving cutting-edge science in existing experiments while maintaining a strong leadership presence, and spearheading new hardware, software, and/or physics initiatives for EIC.
The candidate will mentor graduate students and postdocs and contribute to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level.
