Applications are invited for an Assistant/Associate Professor in Theoretical Physics to commence on 01 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter. An appointment will be made at an appropriate point on the scale for either an Assistant or Associate Professor. The appointment will be for a probationary period of five years with appointment to the retiring age thereafter, subject to satisfactory performance.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in Mathematics, Physics or closely related subject area, and have an outstanding record of research in fundamental theoretical physics, interpreted broadly.
The applicant will be expected to give undergraduate and Masters-level lectures (including in particular being able to contribute to the very popular theoretical physics courses within Part III Mathematics), taking feedback from students and providing them with career or pastoral advice, and perform other usual departmental duties such as those associated with examinations. They will be expected to investigate new areas of research and funding opportunities and submit grant applications. They will also be required to write papers for publication, attend conferences, network with national/international colleagues and give presentations.
