<p class="MsoNormal">The Department of Physics at Lehigh University
invites applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant
Professor Level beginning in August 2015. Lehigh University and
the Physics Department have a strong commitment to the inclusion
and engagement of our growing population of culturally diverse
students. Therefore, we particularly seek candidates who will
successfully serve as mentors and role models for students
belonging to groups that are currently underrepresented in
physics. Successful candidates will have a PhD in Physics and a
strong interest in an academic career combining research and
teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Preferably, candidates should have strong interest and expertise
in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics; Plasma Physics;
Elementary Particle Physics; Cosmology; or Nuclear Physics. Both
theorists and experimentalist are invited to apply.</p>
<p>The department has well-established research programs in
Astrophysics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Biophysics, Condensed
Matter and Nanophysics, Nonlinear Optics and Photonics, Plasma
Physics, and Statistical Physics and is looking for candidates who
will expand the breadth of our current research offerings. The
department is undergoing a major period of transformation and we
expect 5-7 faculty positions will become available in the next 10
years.</p>
<p>Located in Pennsylvania's scenic Lehigh Valley, the campus is
