[Cugapost] Open faculty position at Indiana University---a message from Lisa Kaufman

[Rachel Harris]

*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 
http://www.iub.edu/~iubphys/research/nuclear.shtml 
<http://www.iub.edu/%7Eiubphys/research/nuclear.shtml>

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 
http://www.iub.edu/~iubphys/research/condensed.shtml 
<http://www.iub.edu/%7Eiubphys/research/condensed.shtml>

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 physsrch at indiana.edu <mailto:physsrch at indiana.edu> 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 http://physics.indiana.edu. 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.
