[Cugapost] Research Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia

[Lorelei Carlson]

The University of Virginia Department of Physics invites applicants for 
a Research Assistant Professor position. We seek an experimental 
physicist with a strong record of research in nuclear physics exploiting 
solid polarized targets. The successful candidate will take the lead in 
the design and construction of innovative cryogenic polarized targets in 
collaboration with the existing Solid Polarized Target Group at the 
University of Virginia, while developing future research directions.

Upon joining the faculty at the University of Virginia, the new research 
faculty member will be expected to establish a vibrant and successful 
research program in physics; obtain external funding; and mentor 
doctoral students. The position is non-tenure-track and continuation of 
the appointment beyond an initial three year period is conditional on 
maintenance of external research funding. Review of applications will 
begin December 20, 2018; however, later applications may be considered 
until the position is filled. Applicants must have earned a Ph.D. in 
physics or a related field at the time of application.
