TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN ACCELERATOR PHYSICS

Idaho State University
 

The DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS and the IDAHO ACCELRATOR CENTER at Idaho State 
University invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position in 
accelerator physics at the Assistant Professor level beginning August 
2010.   In exceptional circumstances, a more senior level appointment 
may be considered.  This is a joint position in conjunction with the 
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) in 
Newport News, Virginia.  A Ph.D. degree in physics or a closely related 
field is required.  Candidates are expected to effectively teach a range 
of physics classes including upper division accelerator physics courses, 
and to pursue an active program of graduate advising.  The successful 
candidate will be expected to pursue research and funding in areas of 
accelerator physics that are of mutual interest to the Idaho Accelerator 
Center and Jefferson Lab.   An initial project will involve the 
development and testing of a prototype positron source at the Idaho 
Accelerator Center, with the aim of investigating its implementation at 
Jefferson Laboratory for use in fundamental nuclear and particle physics 
research.  Idaho State University has one of the largest university 
accelerator research centers in the country.  It also has two 
laboratories for low-level radionuclide analysis for environmental 
measurements and other activities.  The Department offers B.S., M.S. and 
Ph.D. degrees in Physics and Health Physics.  Salary is competitive.  
Located in the heart of the Northern Rockies, ISU is within a few hours 
drive of Yellowstone, the Tetons, Sun Valley, world-class skiing 
facilities in northern Utah, and numerous fishing, rafting and mountain 
biking opportunities.  Consideration of applications will begin 
immediately and continue until the position is filled.  Send a letter of 
application, resume, official transcripts and three letters of 
recommendation to:
