Position Information


Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit
Our primary mission is providing instruction of the highest quality in physics and astronomy to undergraduate and graduate students at UNC-CH. Training in physics is fundamental among the natural sciences because it provides understanding of the forces governing the structure of matter, from subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of the universe.
Our departmental instructional mission spans all segments of the student community. Over 60% of all college graduates from UNC-CH have taken a course in our department. Among them: undergraduate liberal arts majors who should master the power of quantitative reasoning; undergraduates seeking a degree in another of the natural sciences, who need physics as a foundation for their advanced scientific training; the small number of undergraduates who major in physics, to whom we provide broad and rigorous training. Our graduate education and research advances frontiers of knowledge at the two extremes of space and time, from the very small) the realm of particle physics) to the very large (the realm of astronomy, while expanding the boundaries of knowledge in the many subfields spanning length scales between. Forefront physics and astronomy research requires access to well-equipped laboratories and extensive computing capabilities; it also must be supported by comprehensive and accessible library collections. Again, in research at this advanced level, the bridging aspect of physics provides basic interdisciplinary insight for many other sciences.
This instructional mission is supported by a strong managerial, administrative, and technical staff. Duties of these employees range from budget planning and management for the numerous research grants held by faculty in the department to maintaining course and student records. These activities are usually accomplished in a standard 40- hour week schedule.
Position Summary
The postdoc will carry out research in theoretical high energy/ nuclear physics, publish the findings in peer reviewed journals and present in conferences, seminars and workshops.
The postdoc will teach in accordance with the needs of the department.
Minimum Education and Experience Requirements
A PhD or an equivalent degree in physics, astronomy/astrophyics or a closely related field.
Required Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience
Ability to perform research in theoretical high energy/ nuclear physics. Ability to communicate the research via published papers and scientific presentations. Ability to teach undergraduate and graduate level physics courses.
Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience
In addition to the required qualifications, preference will be shown for candidates who are able to work with a diverse group of students, faculty member, researchers, and staff.
