Research areas of interest include biophysics and biotechnology, optics and photonics, nanoscience and nanotechnology, novel instrumentation methods, quantum information science and technology, renewable energy, and materials physics. The successful applicant can expect a highly competitive level of support for the start-up of their research program. Considerable institutional resources at Cornell can strengthen this research program and support interdisciplinary and collaborative research ventures. In particular, successful candidates can benefit from association with one or more of Cornell's interdisciplinary research centers, national facilities, and national resources listed at  https://www.engineering.cornell.edu/research-and-faculty/centers-and-facilities .   Typically, postdoctoral experience is considered to be essential for Assistant Professor applicants. However, for exceptional candidates nearing the completion of their PhD, we can provide additional support in the form of a bridging fellowship for postdoctoral training before the start of the faculty position.   Cornell University seeks to meet the needs of dual-career couples, has a Dual Career program, and is a member of the Upstate New York Higher Education Recruitment Consortium to assist with dual career searches.   Interested applicants should submit a cover letter; a curriculum vitae; a publication list; a brief (3-page limit) statement of research interests; a teaching statement; a statement sharing the applicant’s experiences and/or approaches (past, current, or future) to foster learning, research service, and/or outreach in a diverse community – applicants may choose to submit a stand-alone statement or embed the information in other parts of their application (see  https://facultydevelopment.cornell.edu/department-resources/recruitment/contribution-to-diversity/ ); and the names and complete contact information for at least three references:  https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25535 .
