Assistant or Associate Professor in Experimental High Energy Collider Physics

Position Overview The Department of Physics at The Ohio State University announces an opening for a tenure-track faculty position for an experimental physicist working in high energy collider physics. The appointment will be effective in Autumn 2026 at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. We seek outstanding applicants with a demonstrated record of excellence in high energy collider physics to join, and complement, the existing CMS effort at OSU, but who will also initiate new synergistic high energy experimental research directions. The Ohio State University has a strong and impactful record of innovative research in experimental high energy physics in both detector development and data analysis. The current faculty working in this area at OSU play leading roles in current and future accelerator-based high energy experiments including CMS, ATLAS, milliQan, SUBMET, FORMOSA at the FPF, NOvA, and DUNE. Performance Objectives Applicants should demonstrate the potential to be a recognized leader in experimental high energy physics, who will develop a productive, well-funded, and internationally prominent research program. Successful candidates will be expected to: foster cross-disciplinary research with sustained impact; develop and maintain an extramurally funded research program; have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring; and contribute to the teaching (graduate and undergraduate) and service missions of the University. Education and Experience Requirements Required: Candidates must hold a PhD in Physics or a closely related field. Candidates should have an established research record in experimental high energy physics. Desired: We are seeking candidates who, in addition to building their independent research program, will have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to building a welcoming intellectual community, in line with OSU’s Shared Values. How to Apply A complete application consists of the following required elements: a cover letter, curriculum vitae, separate research and teaching statements, and three letters of reference. The search committee will begin reviewing applications on October 15, 2025 and the final deadline for application submission is November 1, 2025. Applicants should include the following attachments: Attachment 1: Cover Letter: 1-2 page letter, which should include a brief summary of your academic background and why you are interested in this opportunity. Attachment 2: CV (Curriculum Vitae): Detailed overview of your scholarly experience, including your research experience, teaching and mentoring experience, service, funding, and publications. Attachment 3: Research Statement: Summary of your past research accomplishments, current work/research, and proposal for your future research plan as a faculty member. Attachment 4: Teaching Statement: A statement of your approaches, experience and philosophy regarding your teaching, learning, and mentoring. The university is an equal opportunity employer, including veterans and disability.
