Applicants in all areas of experimental and theoretical quantum science are encouraged to apply. These positions are created under the University of Texas System Regents' Research Excellence Program.

They must be able to teach at both undergraduate and graduate levels, perform service to the Department, College and University, and engage in outreach activities. The new hires will be core members of faculty of the Physics Graduate Program and instrumental in expanding team-based research in the Department of Physics.
