About this position
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Riverside is anticipating openings for appointments in its Postdoctoral Scholar Series. The postdoctoral scholar role is designed to support advanced research and professional development, with scholars contributing to the department’s research and education programs while enriching the intellectual life of the broader university community.
Postdoctoral Scholars work under the supervision of a faculty mentor and are expected to bring strong research potential and advanced knowledge in their area of study. The appointment is framed as a period of advanced training in preparation for independent careers, with opportunities to contribute to the research group and to the wider academic environment at UC Riverside. The advert emphasizes engagement with graduate and undergraduate students as part of the university’s research and teaching mission.
The opening is in a broad physics-and-astronomy setting rather than a single named project, and the eligible areas span applied and engineering physics, biophysics, physical sciences, general physics, astronomy, astrophysics, atomic/molecular physics, elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, optics, condensed matter and materials physics, and materials sciences. The position is based in the Department of Physics and Astronomy within the College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences at UC Riverside.
Appointments are typically for a two-year term, with possible renewal, and salary/level depend on qualifications and experience.
