Position Description

Fall 2025 PPA Faculty search in Cosmic Frontier

The Particle Physics & Astrophysics (PPA) Department at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory/Stanford University seeks applicants for an open-rank faculty appointment in any area of physics pursued by SLAC's Cosmic Frontier program and the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC). Applicants at the assistant professor level are strongly encouraged to apply. The successful applicant should demonstrate the potential to lead an outstanding experimental, observational, or theoretical research program in one or more of the areas of dark energy, dark matter, inflation, structure formation, or emerging areas in the Cosmic Frontier. Additionally, they should possess strong communication skills and a commitment to effective mentoring

SLAC's current program includes a broad theory program in particle astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics; cosmology research with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space & Time (LSST), the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, South Pole Observatory and Simons Observatory; and dark matter searches with LZ, SuperCDMS, Dark Matter Radio and a future G3 liquid Xenon experiment, XLZD. We welcome candidates who would bring additional dimensions or directions to our program. Scientific utilization of data from LSST is a particular focus area for this search; candidates from all areas consistent with SLAC's current and future program are encouraged to apply. A broad astrophysics and cosmology program at Stanford and SLAC is pursued under the auspices of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology; see kipac.stanford.edu.

All applicants must have a Ph.D. in Physics or related subject field and should send materials to the search committee through AcademicJobsOnline. Candidates should upload a cover letter, curriculum vitae (including a publication list), a research statement (three-page maximum), as well as a brief (
