The Division of Physical and Biological Sciences at the University of California (UC), Santa Cruz invites applications for a tenure track faculty position in materials theory at the Assistant Professor level. UC Santa Cruz values diversity, equity, and inclusion and is committed to hiring faculty who share these values. The Assistant Professor will be hired in the Department of Physics or the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. Areas of research in the Physics Department include particle physics, astrophysics, biophysics, applied physics, and condensed matter physics. Areas of research in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department include biochemistry/biophysical, physical, materials, organic/bioorganic, and inorganic/bioinorganic chemistry. The assigned department will depend on the research interests and areas of expertise of the selected candidate. Candidates with a strong record of publication in the field of theoretical and computational materials and with a strong commitment to research and teaching are encouraged to apply.

The selected candidate is expected to establish a vigorous research program in materials theory either within the Physics Department's condensed matter physics group, or within the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department's physical/materials chemistry group. Within the department, the selected candidate will be expected to teach Physics or Chemistry courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels and perform service to the department and university.

UC Santa Cruz is a Hispanic-Serving Institution with a high proportion of first-in-family students. To be considered, candidates must demonstrate an understanding of the barriers facing traditionally underrepresented groups and describe their experience and future plans to promote equity and inclusion in teaching, mentoring, and professional activities. These can take a variety of forms such as, but not limited to, effective pedagogical strategies used for the educational advancement of students in underrepresented groups; demonstrated contributions to the advancement of access and equal opportunity in education; and participation in activities that support the recruitment, retention, and success of scholars and students. Activities promoting equity and inclusion at UC Santa Cruz will be recognized as important university service during the faculty promotion process.
