The Stony Brook Department of Physics and Astronomy (P&A) hopes to host one of six positions announced below by identifying an outstanding candidate. The internal rules for our P&A department are
1) we will hire at the tenure-track assistant professor level;
2) the intellectual focus of our search is in the areas of astrophysics, materials, and nanoscience/devices.
We are particularly eager to attract female and minority candidates. Similar recruitment efforts in the competition for the six positions, but not necessarily at the assistant professor level, are being announced in other departments such as Chemistry, Biology, and Applied Math as well as other engineering departments and social science departments. Applications for all positions should be directed to the campus-wide search committee listed below. For further information specifically about physics positions, feel free to inquire to Philip B. Allen (philip.allen@sunysb.edu), chair of the ad hoc committee for Physics and Astronomy.
