Tenure-track Faculty Positions in Theoretical and Computational Physics

The Department of Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level. We seek candidates in several areas of theoretical and computational physics including, but not limited to, statistical physics (including AI related physics) and large-scale simulation of quantum many-body systems.  

An applicant must possess a PhD degree in physics or related field and demonstrate a strong track record of research in theoretical and/or computational physics. Appointments at the rank of Associate Professor level or above will also be considered for candidates with exceptional records of research excellence and academic leadership. In addition to pursuing a vibrant research program, an appointee will be expected to engage in effective teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Starting salary will be highly competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience. Fringe benefits including medical and dental benefits, annual leave and housing benefits will be provided where applicable. The initial appointment prior to tenure will normally be on three-year contract terms. A gratuity will be payable upon successful completion of a contract.

Further information about the Department is available at https://physics.hkust.edu.hk/ .

 

Application Procedure

Applicants should submit their application including CV, cover letter, complete publication list, research statement, teaching statement, and at least three reference letters, via AcademicJobsOnline.Org at [https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30879 ">https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30879 ]

Applications will be accepted until 21 March 2026.
