Examples include but are not limited to the design, construction, and use of machine learning tools for theoretical calculations and analysis of experimental data; the use of cloud computing clusters and/or supercomputers for the collection, management, and statistical analysis of big data sets in physics; the application of statistical and data science methods to the manipulation and control of qubit systems for quantum computing; or use of Bayesian methods to analyze data sets in physics.

Requirements
A Ph.D. in Physics or a closely related field is expected by the time of appointment; additional degrees in statistics, computer science, or data science are welcome but not required. The successful candidate is expected to be passionate about inclusive teaching and be able to offer substantive research opportunities for undergraduates studying in both fields.
