The University of Arizona (UA) Physics Department invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in theoretical nuclear physics starting Fall 2025. The UA nuclear theory group pursues research on a variety of topics at the intersection between QCD and nuclear physics, including effective field theories and fundamental symmetries. The initial appointment is partially funded by the FRIB Theory Alliance. We seek a colleague who will establish a vigorous, independent research program that contributes strongly to FRIB Science: fundamental interactions in nuclei, nuclear structure and reactions, and their origins in the universe. Connections to quantum information and artificial intelligence/machine learning are of interest.

The successful candidate will have a proven track record in innovative research in theoretical nuclear physics. They will be expected to demonstrate excellence in teaching and service in the Physics Department, as well as to take proactive steps to improve diversity in our department and in the field of nuclear theory. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field by the start date of the position.
