University of Illinois at Urbana – Champaign
The Dlott laboratory at the University of Illinois (UIUC) needs talented postdoctoral researchers in experimental physical chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering. The Dlott group has pioneered new experimental methods that use a pulsed laser to launch small hypervelocity (0-6 km/s or 0-Mach 20) projectiles to study hypervelocity impacts with very high time and space resolution. The primary areas of interest are materials under extreme conditions (defined as pressures up to 50 GPa and temperatures up to 6000K), energetic materials and materials for hypersonic and space vehicles. More information about research opportunities in the Dlott group is available at https://dlottgroup.web.illinois.edu/, and the link “Jobs” at the top of the page. Links are also provided to recent research publications. Read the flyer

Assistant Professor Position – Experimental Condensed Matter Physics The UAB Department of Physics, https://www.uab.edu/cas/physics/, invites applications for an Assistant Professor tenure-track faculty position (9-month appointment) that will strengthen the Department’s program in Materials under Extreme Conditions. A qualified applicant will have a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field. Research areas of interest include (but are not limited to) dynamic compression of materials, laser shock compression and ultrafast diagnostics, and phase transitions in compositionally complex materials under extreme pressures, temperatures, and strain rates. The faculty member will become part of a newly awarded DOE NNSA Center of Excellence in additively manufactured complex systems under extremes in the physics department at UAB. We are looking for an innovative and inclusive new faculty member with an outstanding publication record and a strong commitment to excellence and diversity in research, teaching, outreach, and student research supervision at both graduate and undergraduate levels.

University of Rochester
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) at the University of Rochester invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Earth and Planetary Sciences. We seek applicants whose research lies in the general field of high-pressure experimental research, specifically those who apply novel and emerging techniques to investigate the material properties of deep interiors of Earth and other planets in the solar system and beyond. We are seeking candidates with expertise in mineral physics, and/or materials science that are relevant to planetary processes using techniques such as, but not limited to, diamond anvil and/or multi-anvil cells. Areas of interest also include the rheology of materials deep within the Earth and other planets, thermodynamics/isotope systematics under extreme P-T conditions, computational mineral physics, and planetary seismology. We especially encourage candidates who have strong research interests that overlap with existing capabilities and strengths at the University of Rochester in our department and
