The Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy at the California
Institute of Technology invites applications from physicists for
possible tenure-track positions at the assistant professor level;
however exceptionally well qualified applicants may also be
considered at the associate or full professor level. Initial
appointment for a non-tenured position is normally four years and
appointment is contingent upon completion of the Ph.D. degree. We are
seeking highly qualified candidates committed to a career in research
and teaching.
Among the fields being targeted in 2001-02 are numerical relativity analytical relativity, theoretical astrophysics, and their interfaces, but as in the past, truly outstanding candidates in any area of physics are encouraged to apply and will be seriously considered. Caltech is generally slow, methodical and thorough in its professorial searches, taking several years or even longer to fill a position in a targeted field, so failure to make an appointment in any given year should not be misinterpreted as a loss of interest in that field.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of papers published and submitted (with refereed papers indicated), a brief essay describing the applicant's research interests and the program of research he or she proposes to carry out at Caltech, and the names and addresses of at least three references (including email addresses if possible).
Applications should be sent to:
Professor Sterl Phinney,
c/o Staffing Secretary, MC 200-36,
California Institute of Technology,
Pasadena, CA 91125, USA.
Caltech is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. Women, minorities, veterans, and disabled persons are encouraged to apply. These are bonafide vacancies and have not been promised to anyone.
