[Cugapost] Faculty position in experimental particle/nuclear physics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst

[Lorelei Chopard]

*Faculty Position in Experimental Particle/Nuclear Physics*
*University of Massachusetts, Amherst
*

*Job Description:*

The Physics Department of the University of Massachusetts Amherst 
invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in experimental 
particle/nuclear physics to start September 1, 2017. The focus area for 
this position is non-accelerator physics, including dark matter 
searches, neutrino physics, and physics probing fundamental symmetries 
at low energy.  The new faculty member will be part of the Amherst 
Center for Fundamental Interactions 
(http://www.physics.umass.edu/acfi/), recently established to enhance 
the interplay between theoretical and experimental research at the 
interface between the cosmic, intensity, and high-energy frontiers.  The 
Department is currently involved in searches for WIMP dark matter 
(DarkSide), neutrino-less double beta decay (EXO-200/nEXO), and solar 
neutrinos (Borexino/SOX), and the precision determination of muon g-2. 
  Other particle physics efforts include QCD probes at JLab, and ATLAS 
at CERN. Further information about the Department's research can be 
found at http://www.physics.umass.edu/ <http://www.physics.umass.edu/>.

*
Requirements:*

The Department seeks an individual with outstanding research and a 
strong commitment to teaching.  The candidate is expected to set up a 
vigorous, independent research program.  A PhD or equivalent education 
in areas closely related to dark matter, neutrino, neutron, and low 
energy particle physics, and postdoctoral experience are required.  We 
are seeking talented applicants qualified for an assistant professor 
position. Under exceptional circumstances, highly qualified candidates 
at higher ranks may receive consideration.

*Additional Information:*

The university is committed to active recruitment of a diverse faculty 
and student body. The University of Massachusetts Amherst is an 
Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer of women, minorities, 
protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities and encourages 
applications from these and other protected group members. Because broad 
diversity is essential to an inclusive climate and critical to the 
University's goals of achieving excellence in all areas, we will 
holistically assess the many qualifications of each applicant and 
favorably consider an individual's record working with students and 
colleagues with broadly diverse perspectives, experiences, and 
backgrounds in educational, research or other work activities. We will 
also favorably consider experience overcoming or helping others overcome 
barriers to an academic degree and career.

We are seeking talented applicants qualified for an assistant professor 
position. Under exceptional circumstances, highly qualified candidates 
at other ranks may receive consideration.
