[Lorelei Chopard]

Dear Colleagues:

Please find the announcement of a staff scientist position in Nuclear 
Theory at the Theoretical Division of  Los Alamos National Laboratory.  
The AJO link is attached below.

We anticipate that the posting will be updated with LANL HR link soon. 
Please, bring this announcement to the attention of interested applicants.

Sincere regards,

Ivan Vitev on behalf of the Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics 
and Cosmology group


***

The Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory invites 
applications for a staff scientist position in Nuclear Theory within the 
T-2 group (Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology). 
Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in nuclear theory or a closely 
related field. The successful candidate should have a demonstrated 
ability to conduct independent research in nuclear theory or closely 
related areas, as well as strong communication and leadership skills. 
Areas of greatest interest in the group include QCD / effective theories 
of QCD for hadronic and quark-gluon plasma physics, nuclear structure 
and astrophysics, and weak interactions and fundamental symmetries. In 
addition to six full time staff scientists working in basic nuclear 
theory, our group has expertise in applied nuclear physics, particle 
physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and plasma physics. Research at the 
intersections of these areas with nuclear theory is highly valued. 
Moreover, the Theoretical Division provides a stimulating scientific 
environment and opportunities for interdisciplinary science. The 
Division and the T-2 group enjoy a highly visible postdoctoral program 
and are actively involved in DOE Nuclear Theory topical collaborations 
and SciDAC projects.

Theorists in the Division actively collaborate with experimentalists at 
LANL and beyond. The experimental Nuclear Physics program at LANL makes 
critical contributions to QCD and heavy ion physics (RHIC, SeaQuest), 
neutrino physics (MAJORANA, accelerator neutrinos), and precision 
neutron physics (neutron EDM, lifetime, decay correlations). Incipient 
experimental efforts in LHC, EIC, and FRIB science follow our 
established theory thrusts in these areas. Candidates whose research 
program overlaps with any of these experimental efforts are encouraged 
to apply.

Los Alamos is an equal-opportunity employer. Women and minorities are 
strongly encouraged to apply.

Application material (CV, brief statement of research interests, and at 
least three letters of recommendation) should be uploaded on the AJO 
website. For full consideration application packages should be complete 
by December 16, 2016. Review of applications will begin the following 
week and will continue until the position is filled. For further 
information please contact Vincenzo Cirigliano (cirigliano at lanl.gov 
<mailto:cirigliano at lanl.gov>) and Ivan Vitev (ivitev at lanl.gov
