Qiu to become Theory Center Director at Jefferson Lab<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We
are delighted to announce that Jianwei Qiu, a world renowned
expert in quantum chromodynamics has accepted the appointment
as Director of the Theory Center and will join the laboratory
in early Fall. Jianwei received his Ph. D. from Columbia
University where his supervisor was Al Mueller. As a postdoc,
he worked at Argonne National Lab where Ed Berger and Dennis
Sivers were prominent collaborators; and at the Yang Institute
at Stony Brook University where Jianwei completed some very
important work with George Sterman. Jianwei spent more than
twenty years on the faculty of Iowa State University, and
during the past six years he has been a prominent member of
the theory group at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Jianwei
was one of the editors and principal authors of the white
paper which lays out the physics program achievable at a
future electron ion collider. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The
search was conducted by a distinguished committee consisting
of Joe Carlson and Bob McKeown (co-chairs), Charlotte Elster,
