<p class="MsoNormal">In June 2016, Mike Pennington will step down
from his position as Associate Director for Theory at Jefferson
Lab. We have posted this position on the Jefferson Lab website (<a
href="https://www.jlab.org/job-openings"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.jlab.org/job-openings">https://www.jlab.org/job-openings</a></a>)
and posted an advertisement in Physics Today (<a
href="http://jobs.physicstoday.org/jobs/7712394/associate-director-theory-center"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://jobs.physicstoday.org/jobs/7712394/associate-director-theory-center">http://jobs.physicstoday.org/jobs/7712394/associate-director-theory-center</a></a>).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have also appointed a search committee
with a distinguished membership to conduct an international
search and provide me with final recommendations for this
position. The committee will be co-chaired by Joe Carlson of Los
Alamos National Laboratory and Bob McKeown of Jefferson Lab.
Members will be Charlotte Elster (Ohio U.), Franz Gross
(Jefferson Lab emeritus), Frithjof Karsch (Bielefeld U. &
BNL), Krishna Rajagopal (MIT), and Feng Yuan (LBNL). <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to ask for your help to
encourage qualified people to apply for this position. We would
also like to hear from you about people you think should be
considered. For full consideration we would like to receive
applications by February 1, 2016.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please feel free to approach any member of
the committee, the head of Human Resources, Rhonda Barbosa or
me - in person, by telephone, or by e-mail with your
suggestions and/or recommendations.<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to your participation,<o:p></o:p></p>
