Assistant Professor - Experimental Nuclear Physics, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy
Stony Brook University
Description
The Department of Physics & Astronomy at Stony Brook University invites applications for a Tenure Track Assistant Professor faculty position in experimental nuclear physics. Applicants in all areas of experimental nuclear physics are encouraged to apply. The particular focus of the research will be up to the faculty member engaging in independently funded research characterized by creativity and vision. The appointed faculty member will also have an interest in joining and strengthening the long-term vision of the Stony Brook group towards the realization of the Electron Ion Collider.
The successful candidate will join Stony Brook's experimental nuclear physics group and the Center for Frontiers in Nuclear Science, contributing to a vibrant and expanding research program. The group is at the forefront of investigations into strongly interacting matter, hadron formation, and precision tests of fundamental symmetries. Faculty study the quark-gluon plasma and its transition to hadronic matter, probe how protons emerge from quarks and gluons, and test the Standard Model through high-precision measurements. The program actively supports the development of the Electron-Ion Collider through advanced instrumentation and simulations. It plays a leading role in the sPHENIX [1] experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Members also participate in major collaborations at Jefferson Lab and other international facilities. The experimental group as a whole works closely with the nuclear theory group at Stony Brook and has strong connections with experimental and theory groups at BNL.
The person holding this position will report to the Chair of the Physics and Astronomy Department. The faculty member will perform research on topics in Neutrino Physics. While the particular focus of the research will be up to the faculty member, the successful applicant will be expected to join and strengthen the Stony Brook neutrino group engaging in independently funded research characterized by creativity and vision. Current faculty members of the local Stony Brook Neutrino group primarily focus on topics within the T2K and DUNE collaborations. The faculty member is expected to interact with other local members of the Neutrino group at Stony Brook and at BNL, and with members of the Department of Physics and Astronomy and of the YITP with interests in High Energy Neutrino Physics, as well as with their peers at other educational institutes. During the academic year the faculty member may be asked to give seminars on the member's work, and is expected to present their research at national and/or international conferences. The faculty member will teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses at the Department of Physics and Astronomy and will be expected to encourage, and as appropriate participate in, the research and mentorship of graduate students and postdoctoral associates. The faculty member will participate in departmental, university and professional service.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
PhD (or foreign equivalent) in experimental particle physics or a related field. Post PhD work experience on a High Energy Physics experiment. Demonstrated ability to perform research independently and as part of a group. Demonstrated ability to organize and lead within a High Energy Physics experiment. Demonstrated track record of publication of research in high quality peer-reviewed journals and delivery of presentations at major conferences. Expert knowledge of techniques of experimental particle physics, and physics data analysis. Clear and concise oral and written communication and interpersonal and analytical skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
Expert knowledge of techniques of neutrino physics. Previous experience on a current Neutrino experiment, such as T2K or NOVA. Previous mentoring and teaching experience. Experience with experiment operation design and construction. Experience working with a diverse student body and/or the ability to contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the Department and University.
Application Instructions
Applications should be submitted through the Interfolio web service. They should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research statement, and a teaching philosophy statement. The candidate should use the options provided at the Interfolio website to request at least three letters of reference. Applications received by 11/16/25 will receive full consideration.
The selected candidate must successfully clear a background investigation.
