Open-Rank Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Experimental Nuclear or High Energy Physics
Department:
Arts and Sciences | Physics Administration
Position Overview
The Department of Physics at The Ohio State University announces an opening for a tenure-track faculty position for an experimental particle or nuclear physicist whose research focuses on the intersection of astrophysics and either particle or nuclear physics. The open rank appointment, with the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor title depending on qualifications, will start in Autumn 2027. A non-exhaustive list of possible topics at this intersection includes dark matter, neutrinos and neutrino astronomy, cosmic rays and gamma rays, multi-messenger astrophysics, gravitational waves, and nuclear astrophysics. The Ohio State University has a strong and impactful record of innovative research in experimental particle and nuclear physics in both detector development and data analysis. Ohio State faculty play leading roles in current and future accelerator-based particle and nuclear experiments including CMS, ATLAS, milliQan, SUBMET, FORMOSA at the FPF, NOvA, DUNE, STAR, and ePIC; in ANITA, ARA, PUEO, and RNO-G for ultra-high-energy neutrinos and cosmic rays; in the DESI, Roman Space Telescope, and Rubin DESC cosmology programs; and in SDSS, ASAS-SN, and the Large Binocular Telescope via the Department of Astronomy, whose Imaging Sciences Laboratory builds astronomical instrumentation. The successful candidate will help connect these efforts. The candidate will also work to advance the Department’s mission in research, teaching, and service and is anticipated to become a member of the Ohio State Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP), a center of excellence consisting of 25 faculty members from the Department of Physics and Department of Astronomy, together with approximately 20 postdoctoral fellows and 25 graduate students.
Performance Objectives

- develop and maintain an extramurally funded research program;
- have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring; and
- contribute to the teaching (graduate and undergraduate) and service missions of the University.
Education and Experience Requirements
Required: Candidates must hold a PhD in Physics or a closely related field.
Desired: Candidates with an established research record, as evidenced by a body of peer reviewed publications and, in the case of applicants at the level of Associate Professor or Professor, external funding and invited presentations, are invited to apply. We are seeking candidates who, in addition to building their independent research program, have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring and to building a welcoming intellectual community, in line with OSU’s Shared Values (see below).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a High School Teacher
Verify your state license before applying
Most school districts require a valid state teaching license before extending an offer. Research reciprocity agreements between your home province or Mexican state and your target U.S. state to avoid delays after you've accepted a position.
Target districts experienced with visa sponsorship
Public school districts, charter networks, and private schools all sponsor TN visas, but their familiarity with the process varies widely. Prioritize HR departments that have experience sponsoring international workers, since they'll understand the support letter requirements and port-of-entry procedures.
Clarify your subject area in every application
TN approval for teachers depends on the specific subject you'll teach aligning with your degree field. A biology degree supports a science teaching role, but a general education degree may not support a specialized STEM position, so state the match explicitly.
Prepare your credential evaluation early
Canadian and Mexican degrees must be evaluated for U.S. equivalency by a NACES-recognized evaluator before most districts will move forward. Request a course-by-course evaluation, which takes two to four weeks, so it's ready when an offer comes.
Use Migrate Mate to find sponsoring schools efficiently
Searching for school districts open to TN sponsorship on your own is slow and inconsistent. Migrate Mate surfaces teaching roles with active TN visa sponsorship so you can focus your applications on employers already prepared to hire international educators.
Get your offer letter to specify employment details precisely
Your TN documentation requires an employer offer letter stating your job title, subject area, salary, and start date. Canadian teachers presenting at the border need this letter to be detailed enough for a CBP officer to confirm specialty occupation status on the spot.
High School Teacher TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a High School Teacher role qualify for TN visa status?
Yes. Teaching at the secondary level is a recognized TN visa profession under USMCA. You need a baccalaureate or licenciatura degree in education or in the subject you'll teach. Your job offer must be from a U.S. school, and your role must align clearly with your academic background for CBP to approve the classification.
How does TN compare to H-1B for High School Teacher positions?
TN is almost always the faster and simpler path for Canadian and Mexican teachers. There's no lottery, no cap for Canadians, and no lengthy USCIS petition process. Canadians can receive TN status at the port of entry the same day. H-1B visa requires employer sponsorship through USCIS, a registration lottery, and months of processing, making it impractical for most school hiring timelines.
Do I need a U.S. state teaching license to get TN sponsorship?
TN status itself doesn't require a state license, but most public school districts won't extend an offer without one. Some states issue provisional or emergency licenses for international candidates, which can bridge the gap. Private and charter schools often have more flexibility. Check your target state's licensing board requirements before applying, since timelines vary significantly by state.
How do I find High School Teacher jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Most job postings don't specify visa sponsorship type, so you'll need to ask directly during the hiring process or find schools with a track record of hiring internationally. Migrate Mate is built specifically for this: it filters teaching roles by TN sponsorship availability, saving you from applying to districts that won't support the process.
Can Mexican teachers get TN status for High School Teacher roles?
Yes, but the process differs from the Canadian pathway. Mexican nationals apply for TN status at a U.S. consulate rather than at the border, and Mexico's annual TN allocation is capped, though in practice it's rarely exhausted for teaching roles. Consular wait times and appointment availability are the main variables that affect your start date timeline.
