[Cuga] New Energy Professorship---a message from Bill Briscoe

[Rachel Harris]

The Gus Weiss Professor of Theoretical Physics
New Professorship in Energy Research
Institute for Basic Energy Science and Technology
The Department of Physics at The George Washington University invites
applications for a senior tenured position for a theoretical physicist 
within a
growing program of interdisciplinary energy-related research at the 
University.
The University is establishing an Institute for Basic Energy Science and
Technology at our Virginia Science and Technology Campus to be anchored by
senior faculty in Physics, Chemistry, and Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering. Current research within the Energy Institute is focused on
experimental research on the Solar Thermal Electrochemical Photo (STEP)
process and Wind Turbines. Successful candidates will advance the vision 
of the
University and the Physics Department as a leader in energy-related research
and maintain an active, externally funded, research program. Preference 
will be
given to individuals whose research complements existing strengths and
strategic priorities at the University and within the Physics 
Department, generally
in such areas as computational modeling and programs utilizing national
facilities. Significant opportunities exist for collaborations with 
other departments
in our Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering and
Applied Science, and School of Medicine, as well as with many private and
federal laboratories in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.

Basic Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree and
relevant experience as well as a distinguished record of funded research.

Application Procedure: Applications should include a curriculum vita and a
letter of intent, describing research, teaching, and overall goals. Names,
addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of at least three
references should also be included. Applications should be sent to Professor
William Briscoe, Chair, Search Committee, Department of Physics, The George
Washington University, Washington, DC 20052. Applications will be 
reviewed as
they are received, until the position is filled. Only complete 
applications will be
considered. Applications from women and underrepresented minorities are
especially encouraged. The George Washington University is an Equal
