<pre wrap="">FACULTY POSITIONS:
THEORETICAL NUCLEAR/ASTRO PHYSICS // THEORETICAL CONDENSED MATTER
INDIANA UNIVERSITY
The Department of Physics at Indiana University invites applications for two positions in theoretical physics: one in condensed matter physics and one in nuclear/astro physics, subject to funding and approval for appointment beginning Fall 2011. Candidates will be evaluated for appointment at the tenure-track assistant professor level at a salary commensurate with qualifications and experience. Members of IU’s world-class efforts in Nuclear and Condensed Matter theory are also active within the newly created Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter (CEEM) that provides enhanced support for research in each area and promotes cross-disciplinary research. Outstanding Ph.D. scientists from all subfields of nuclear and condensed matter physics are encouraged to apply.
The successful nuclear physics candidate will join one of the top nuclear physics groups in the US and will be expected to develop a world-class research program in any of the forefront areas of theoretical nuclear physics: QCD, physics of the quark/gluon plasma, lattice gauge theory, hadron physics, nucleon spin physics, relativistic heavy ion physics, neutrino physics, weak interactions and symmetries, nuclear astrophysics, and nuclear structure. The initial appointment will be a cooperative fellowship with the RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory for a period of up to five years. During this period, the Assistant Professor/Fellow will spend about half his/her time at Indiana University and the remaining time at the RBRC in BNL.
Details about the group may be found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.iub.edu/%7Eiubphys/research/nuclear.shtml">http://www.iub.edu/~iubphys/research/nuclear.shtml</a>
The successful candidate for the condensed matter theory position will join a group currently engaged in research on low dimensional electron systems, superconductivity, quantum magnetism, topological quantum order and computation, optical properties of structured matter, correlated electronic and atomic systems, complex fluids, and soft condensed matter. CEEM is also home to unique facilities for the study of condensed matter systems including structure at large scales (1-1000 nm) using the Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS). More information about the group may be found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.iub.edu/%7Eiubphys/research/condensed.shtml">http://www.iub.edu/~iubphys/research/condensed.shtml</a>
A commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level is essential. Candidates should submit a letter of application, research statement, curriculum vitae, and a minimum of three letters of reference to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:physsrch@indiana.edu">physsrch@indiana.edu</a> or by mail to: Faculty Search, Department of Physics, 727 E. 3rd St., Bloomington, IN 47405-7105. If applying for the nuclear/astro theory position, also mail to: Dr. Nicholas Samios, Director, RIKEN BNL Research Center, Building 510A, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Box 5000, Upton, NY 11973-5000.
Applications received by January 15, 2011 will be given full consideration. Further information about the IU Physics Department can be found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://physics.indiana.edu">http://physics.indiana.edu</a>. Indiana University is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer strongly committed to excellence through diversity and is responsive to the needs of dual career couples. The University actively encourages applications of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities.
