The faculty member will be responsible for effectively teaching physics 
ranging from large service courses to graduate level courses. The 
incumbent will establish a research program to support graduate and 
undergraduate research. The faculty member will also serve as an 
academic advisor to graduate students.

The principle research emphasis of the Department is on applications of 
nuclear science. Research areas include nuclear physics, radiation 
interactions with matter, novel radiation beams, materials analysis, 
waste assay and imaging, health physics, non-destructive testing, 
isotope production and radio-biology. In addition, the Department has 
ongoing or developing research collaborations with several national 
laboratories, including Jefferson, Los Alamos, Sandia, Livermore, and 
Idaho National Laboratories. ISU Physics has a large accelerator 
research center with more operating research accelerators than any other 
university in North America. These include eight electron linacs, 
ranging in energy from 6 to 44 MeV, with the latter linac capable of 30 
picosecond pulses, a pulsed, 30 kA, 8 MeV induction accelerator, a 2 MeV 
positive-ion Van de Graaff, and several additional accelerators that are 
in the process of re-commissioning. The Department also has two 
laboratories for low-level radionuclide analysis for environmental 
measurements and expanding nuclear energy research laboratories at the 
state-of-the-art Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES) building.



Minimum Qualifications:

Applicants must have an earned Ph.D. and are expected to demonstrate the 
ability to effectively teach physics ranging from large service to 
graduate level courses. The establishment of a strong research program 
to support graduate and undergraduate research, including extramural 
funding, is expected.

Preferred Qualifications:

Candidates with postdoctoral experience and demonstrated research 
performance in nuclear physics, radiation physics, health physics, 
medical physics, other nuclear science, or physics education research 
will be preferred.

Applicants who will complement or support existing strengths of the 
department are welcomed.
