Faculty positions

The Department of Physics invites applications for a faculty position, to start in Fall 2024. We are conducting an open-rank search for both experimentalists and theorists. We will most strongly consider experimentalists in the fields of quantum optics and photonics; ultrafast science; and quantum materials and devices, and we will consider theorists across all subfields.

In addition to the Academic Jobs Online application, Penn State requires all applicants to register and complete the application form at the Penn State employment website: https://hr.psu.edu/careers. Application materials do not need to be uploaded to the Penn State site.
