Areas of research may include but are not limited to: astrophysics, atomic/molecular/optical physics, biological physics, condensed matter, high energy physics, neurophysics, particle physics, and plasma physics. All positions are subject to availability of funding. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales.

Review of applications will continue until the position is filled based on the on-going needs of the Physics Department.
