[Cugapost] Assistant Professor of Physics - Center for Accelerator Science- ODU

[Lorelei Chopard]

Assistant Professor of Physics - Center for Accelerator Science
Old Dominion University

Applications are invited for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of 
Physics to join the growing Center for Accelerator Science (CAS) at Old 
Dominion University (ODU) in Norfolk, Virginia with an expected start 
date of Fall 2014. The ODU Physics Department 
(_http://sci.odu.edu/physics/)_ has strong research groups in 
experimental and theoretical nuclear and particle physics, experimental 
and theoretical atomic and few-body physics, accelerator physics, 
theoretical condensed matter physics, materials science and geophysics 
and is one of seven degree-granting units in the College of Sciences 
offering B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The department has 20 tenured or 
tenure-track faculty and five special appointment “Jefferson Lab 
Professors” and is supported by substantial external, peer-reviewed 
research grant support as well as state funds. Thirteen faculty members 
are APS Fellows. A vibrant program includes 50 graduate students and 
more than 80 undergraduate majors.

CAS was created in December of 2008 as a joint initiative between ODU 
and the nearby Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson 
Lab) to train the next generation of accelerator scientists through 
teaching and research.  CAS 
(_http://odu.edu/sci/research/cas)_ currently focuses on 
super-conducting RF cavities design, materials, and processes; 
accelerator design; and high-performance computer simulations of 
particle accelerators. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in accelerator, 
particle, or nuclear physics, or a related field and have demonstrated 
ability in, or a strong potential for, excellence in both university 
teaching and academic research.  Strong preference will be given to 
candidates with experience in accelerator science, especially those 
candidates with a research plan that is synergistic with or directly 
related to the current focus areas of CAS. The successful applicant will 
be expected to contribute to the growth of CAS through involvement in 
ongoing activities as well as obtaining external grant funding for 
initiating new lines of research, to teach undergraduate and graduate 
courses in physics and to supervise undergraduates and graduate students 
in research.

Old Dominion University is a state-supported Carnegie Doctoral/Research 
Extensive institution with more than 24,000 students and over 720 
full-time faculty. Norfolk, Virginia is a culturally rich, historic city 
and a major international maritime center in a metropolitan area of over 
1.7 million people.  Norfolk, one of seven cities that form the Hampton 
Roads region, is located at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.

Applicants should submit an application packet by email to 
PhysicsSearch at odu.edu <mailto:PhysicsSearch at odu.edu> as a single pdf 
file. A complete application will consist of 1) a letter of application 
describing the individual's qualifications for the position, 2) a 
curriculum vitae, and 3) a vision statement addressing research and 
teaching. Applicants should also arrange to have three letters of 
reference sent directly to the email address above. Review of 
applications will begin November 1, 2013 and continue until the position 
is filled.
