Faculty Job Opportunities
The James Franck Institute is a Research Institute
within the Physical Science Division of the University of Chicago. The
Division includes several other such institutes. Each brings together
faculty from several academic disciplines in the Physical Sciences.
These disciplines are Astronomy and Astrophysics, Chemistry, Computer
Science, Geophysical Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics.
No faculty positions available at this time in the JFI.
Post Doctoral Scholar Jobs
Postdoctoral Scholar in Physics & Biophysics
The Gardel group and the Jaeger group have an opening for a motivated postdoctoral scholar to work on high-speed confocal imaging of dense colloidal systems. This research would bridge projects pursued by both groups. Possible topics range from investigating the connection between structure and dynamics in physical systems near the jamming transition to elucidating the mechanisms underlying shear-thickening to measurements of the mechanical response of biological fibers and cells.
Additionally, there are openings in Jaeger's group for postdoctoral scholars with an interest in nanoparticle assembly and electronic transport, and in the dynamics of macroscopic granular materials.
All of these positions are available immediately.
To apply, contact gardel@uchicago.edu and h-jaeger@uchicago.edu by email with a cover letter and a CV.
