Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN THEORETICAL/COMPUTATIONAL CONDENSED MATTER/MATERIALS PHYSICS
The Department of Physics at Wake Forest University is seeking applications for a tenure-track position to begin July 2020. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Physics or a related area and are expected to have a strong commitment to both teaching and research. The Department is searching for candidates whose research is in the area of Theoretical and/or Computational Condensed Matter Physics with a focus on materials. Exceptional candidates in other fields may be considered. Candidates with research interests complementary to those of current Wake Forest Physics faculty, as well as those who can interact with other departments such as Engineering and/or Computer Science, are especially encouraged to apply. We expect to fill the position at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates may be considered at other ranks. A successful candidate will teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels and establish a vigorous and externally supported research program.

Opportunities are also available through the newly established Wake Forest Innovation Quarter in downtown Winston-Salem, one of the fastest-growing urban technology innovation districts in the United States. Also, many collaborations exist among our faculty and faculty at the Medical School (WFU Health Sciences).
