About The Position
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Clemson University is seeking candidates for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in experimental biophysics, set to commence in August 2025. This role is designed for individuals who are eager to develop a research program at the cutting edge of biological physics and biophysics, particularly in areas relevant to health-related sciences. The successful candidate will also contribute to the development of the Medical Biophysics M.S. and Ph.D. programs, enhancing and extending the department's existing research strengths. Clemson University offers a vibrant and collaborative environment, with access to a variety of synergistic resources. These include the Eukaryotic Pathogens Innovation Center, The Center for Human Genetics, the Advanced Materials Innovation Complex, and the South Carolina Translational Research Improving Musculoskeletal Health (SC-TRIMH). The department is well-equipped with facilities such as the Clemson Light Imaging facility, the Electron Microscopy facility, and the AIRISE Institute. The university has received a significant $20 million investment from the NSF aimed at transforming health care through AI, underscoring the importance of biomedical research within Clemson's strategic plan. This plan emphasizes the need for an AAU-aligned faculty to address societal challenges, develop world-class research infrastructure, and leverage partnerships and Innovation Campuses. The successful applicant will join a dynamic Physics department known for its internationally recognized programs in experimental, computational, and theoretical biological physics, as well as in single molecule biophysics, advanced materials, condensed matter theory, astrophysics, atmospheric and space physics, and both experimental and theoretical quantum physics. This position not only involves research but also requires teaching responsibilities at both undergraduate and graduate levels, making it essential for the candidate to establish a vigorous, externally funded research program while also contributing to the educational mission of the department.
