Position Summary
Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Theoretical/Experimental Quantum Science Indiana University (IU) Indianapolis The Physics Department at IU Indianapolis ( ) invites applications for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Experimental or Theoretical Physics in the area of Quantum Sciences to begin August 1 2026. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in physics or a related discipline demonstrate the ability to initiate and sustain an externally funded program of research and be able to teach effectively at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Researchers with a record of interdisciplinary research are encouraged to apply. The Department has 12 full-time faculty members approximately 35 undergraduate majors (BS) and 20 students pursuing MS or PhD degrees in Physics. Faculty members in the department work in biophysics condensed matter physics AMO physics physics education research and precision measurements. Multiple faculty members are part of a state-wide NSF IUCRC consortium involving Indiana University Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame. This Center for Quantum Technology ( ) fosters industry-academia partnerships on translation of academic research to industry. IU Indianapolis the health sciences focused campus of Indiana University has strong research programs in multiple schools across campus including the School of Medicine and the Luddy School of Informatics. The University has recently created a new institute the Convergent Bioscience and Technology Institute ( CBATI ) which with the existing Integrated Nanosystem Development Institute ( INDI ) promotes collaborations between physics engineering and health applications The successful candidate is expected to expand the reach of quantum science by establishing strong collaborations and joint externally funded endeavors with one or more of these institutes. IU Indianapolis was formerly IUPUI a joint campus of Indiana and Purdue Universities in Indianapolis but as of July 1 2024 a realignment has resulted in the campus and Science departments in particular becoming a part of the newly named IU Indianapolis ( ). As part of this restructuring the Indiana General Assembly has provided $60 million to significantly expand and renovate research and laboratory space. Simultaneously a Lilly Endowment grant has backed the creation of Indiana University Launch Accelerator for Bioscience (IU LAB ) with the goal of bridging the gap from transformative research to commercial applications in the biosciences. Applicants should submit CV Letter of application Proposed research agenda with suitable external funding sources Descriptions of professional experience and teaching experience and philosophy Contact information of three references As the states premier urban research institution IU Indianapolis is committed to being a welcoming campus community and we seek candidates whose research teaching and community engagement efforts contribute to robust learning and working environments for all students staff and faculty. About the School of Science: The IU Indianapolis School of Science is a hub for scientific research and education offering a range of undergraduate and graduate (MS and PhD) programs across disciplines including biology chemistry earth and environmental sciences forensic and investigational sciences mathematics neuroscience physics and psychology. With state-of-the-art facilities and close ties to Indianapolis thriving healthcare biotech and life sciences sectors the school fosters interdisciplinary research and innovation and prepares students for careers in science medicine technology and education through hands-on research and collaboration with leading industry and academic partners. About the campus: The IU Indianapolis campus with over 21000 students is located adjacent to downtown Indianapolis. It offers a full range of academic programs and the School of Science has formed key research partnerships with the IU School of Medicine and the Regenstreif Institute an internationally recognized medical informatics research center. IU faculty have access to state-of-the art computing resources. IUs Quartz supercomputer Big Red 200 is among the worlds fastest research supercomputers. Owned and operated solely by IU these high-performance resources are designed to accelerate discovery in a wide variety of fields to enable effective analysis of large complex data sets. Overall IU Indianapolis research contributes significantly to the Indiana State economy. Review of applications will begin on April 1 2026 but applications will continue to be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled.
