Assistant Professor in Physics

The research focus of the successful applicant will be in theoretical gravitational-wave physics. We also welcome applications in other areas of gravitational physics including astrophysics, cosmology, and high energy physics. The successful candidate will have a PhD in physics (or closely related field), a strong record of accomplishments in research, and a strong commitment toward teaching and mentoring. This candidate will be expected to spend equal time at both institutions and will benefit from a reduction in teaching duties at Guelph, in addition to having access to resources and opportunities at both institutions. Perimeter Institute will provide 50% of the salary for a term of six years, as well as an additional stipend and funds for research and travel. After the completion of the six-year term and upon a positive review, Perimeter expects to offer the successful candidate a new Associate position with one day per week spent at Perimeter and the remaining time spent at Guelph.
