[Cugapost] Tenure-track faculty position at NMSU

[Lorelei Chopard]

TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN THEORETICAL NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS

The Physics Department at New Mexico State University anticipates hiring 
a tenure-track assistant professor in theoretical nuclear and particle 
physics. The position will be partially funded for the first three years 
through a grant by the US Department of Energy Office of Science within 
the framework of a topical collaboration led by Brookhaven National Lab, 
focused on the three-dimensional description of hadron structure. The 
successful candidate will have reduced teaching load during those three 
years and will conduct research connected to this field. At the end of 
the three-year period the position is expected to revert to a full-time, 
tenure-track faculty position at NMSU. The successful candidate is 
expected to teach undergraduate and graduate physics, and establish an 
externally-funded research program directly involving graduate and/or 
undergraduate students.

The NMSU Physics Dept. offers Bachelor's degrees in physics and 
engineering physics and Master's and Doctoral degrees. Current research 
areas in the department include high-energy nuclear physics; 
solid-state/condensed-matter physics and materials science; optics; and 
geophysics. The experimental high-energy nuclear physics group conducts 
research with the PHENIX collider experiment at Brookhaven National Lab 
and the MicroBooNE neutrino experiment at Fermilab; the theoretical 
nuclear and particle physics group pursues research in the areas of 
hadron and vacuum structure, including phenomenology and Lattice QCD.

A Ph.D. in physics or closely related field is required and some 
postdoctoral experience is highly desired. Preference will be given to 
candidates with experience in hadron structure physics, broadly defined. 
Applications must be filed electronically at 
https://jobs.nmsu.edu/postings/26430 and include a resume, a statement 
of research interests, a short description of the candidate's teaching 
philosophy and the contact information of at least three persons 
familiar with the candidate who are willing to provide letters of 
reference. To receive full consideration, applications, including 
letters of reference, must be complete by December 15, 2016. The 
position is anticipated to start in Fall 2017. For further information 
or questions please contact the Head of the Search Committee, Prof. 
Michael Engelhardt, at engel at nmsu.edu . NMSU is an 
Equal-Opportunity/Affirmative-Action employer; Minorities, Females, 
Veterans, and those with a Disability are encouraged to apply.
