[Cugapost] Assistant Professor, Experimental Nuclear and Particle Physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

[Lorelei Chopard]

Currently, the research groups in the Nuclear and Particle Division and Laboratory for Nuclear Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have a wide range of interests in strong interaction physics (Jefferson Lab, OLYMPUS/DESY, CMS heavy ions), electroweak symmetry breaking (CMS), dark matter searches (CMS, AMS, DarkLight, DMTPC and MiniCLEAN), neutrino physics (KATRIN, Double Chooz, Daedalus, LBNE, and MicroBooNE) and physics beyond the standard model (CMS, LHCb, nEDM). This faculty search is broad in scope so that applicants with research interests in other areas of nuclear and particle physics are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Faculty members at MIT conduct research, teach undergraduate and graduate physics courses, and supervise graduate and undergraduate participation in research. Candidates must show promise in teaching as well as in research. Preference will be given to applicants at the assistant professor level. 

The application deadline is November 22, 2013. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a brief description of research interests and goals (the latter NOT TO EXCEED 3 PAGES IN LENGTH). Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be uploaded. Only web submissions will be accepted. 

Any inquiries should be directed to Professor Gunther Roland, Search Committee Chair, rolandg at mit.edu . Candidates who are uncertain whether they fit into a particular search should contact the search chair.
