The Physics Department of the Naval Postgraduate School invites applications for a tenure track faculty position at the Assistant/Associate Professor level with expertise in one or several areas of acoustics that include acoustic sensor design for material characterization, acoustic spectroscopy, sonar transducer design and testing, and ocean acoustics. Exceptional candidates may be considered for appointment at a more senior level. A PhD is required, and degrees in physics or applied physics are preferred for breadth of teaching within the department. Applicants must show excellent research potential, are expected to develop an externally funded research program, and must have a strong commitment to graduate teaching.

The Physics Department is part of the Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and has a long history of excellence in the areas of conventional weapons, electro-optic sensors, and acoustics. The department is comprised of approximately 15 tenure-track professors, 5 research professors, three senior lecturers, and approximately 15 research associates. The Physics Department has active research programs in physical acoustics, acoustic vector sensors, transducer design, ocean acoustic propagation, and acoustic communications. In addition, the department has several autonomous, ocean-going systems with acoustic sensing and communications capabilities available for research.

Minimum qualifications:

• Requires an earned doctoral degree in Physics, Applied Physics; a doctoral degree in Ocean Engineering, or acoustics-related engineering field, may also be considered if graduate level work in Physics/Applied Physics has been completed;

• Must be able to independently support research programs complementary to work being conducted at the Naval Postgraduate School;

• Must be able to support a breadth of the department’s instructional needs;
