Open-Rank Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Theoretical High Energy Physics
Position Overview
The Department of Physics at The Ohio State University announces an opening for a tenure-track faculty position for a theoretical physicist working at the intersection of high energy physics and astrophysics. The open rank appointment, with the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor title depending on qualifications, will start in Autumn 2027. We seek a candidate whose work complements that of the high energy physics and astrophysics efforts at Ohio State and/or helps initiate new research directions at their intersection. Our high energy theory group is interested in all aspects of particle physics, quantum field theory and string theory, and is currently focused on quantum chromodynamics (QCD), physics beyond the Standard Model, and black holes. A non-exhaustive list of points of possible connection to astrophysics includes neutrinos, dark matter, inflation, gravitational waves, dark energy, and early- or late-universe cosmology. The successful candidate will work to advance the Department’s mission in research, teaching, and service and is anticipated to become a member of the Ohio State Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP).
