The UC Berkeley Physics Department is doing a search for a tenure-track assistant professor.

The search is open, but there are several areas of particular interest:

• Space Sciences, theory or experiment. This includes space and solar plasma physics, gravitational waves, black hole imaging, gamma ray astrophysics, multi-messenger astronomy, radio cosmology, cosmic rays, and dark matter.
• Astrophysics experiment. This includes gravity wave detection and space plasma physics.
• Observational and theoretical astrophysics. The focus is on using and developing data science and machine learning techniques.
• Experimental nuclear and particle physics. The focus is on fundamental symmetries, including CP and time reversal symmetry, family and lepton number symmetries, and matter-antimatter symmetry.
