[Cugapost] Faculty positions in Nuclear Theory at ODU/JLab

[Lorelei Carlson]

The Department of Physics at Old Dominion University (ODU) and the Thomas
Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) are seeking two
outstanding theoretical physicists in the field of nuclear and hadronic
physics. Both positions have an anticipated start date of Fall 2023. The
successful candidates will be jointly appointed as faculty members at ODU
and staff members in the Jefferson Lab Theory Center. For the first
position, candidates with research experience in nuclear structure and
fundamental symmetries are preferred. The tenure track appointment at ODU
will be made at the Assistant Professor level. Initial funding for this
position will come from a recently funded DOE Topical Collaboration grant.
The second position has a broader research focus, with a tenure-track
appointment at the Assistant Professor level. For the second position
only, appointment at the Associate Professor level will be considered for
candidates with an exceptional record of academic excellence.

Minimum Qualifications

A Ph.D. or equivalent in nuclear/particle physics or closely related field
is required.
Each successful candidate will be expected to initiate and maintain a
strong, externally funded research program in nuclear and hadronic
physics, and help support Jefferson Lab’s science program.
At the same time, candidates should demonstrate potential for excellence
in teaching and research supervision at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels and will be expected to promote department inclusivity
while contributing to efforts geared toward increasing participation among
members of under-represented groups in science.
Preferred Qualifications

Postdoctoral experience is strongly preferred.
Research experience in nuclear structure and fundamental symmetries are
preferred for the first Assistant Professor position.
The Department of Physics at Old Dominion University, where the appointees
would be regular faculty members, has thirty-two regular and special
appointment faculty, more than 50 graduate students and more than 80
undergraduate majors. Research specializations within the department
include nuclear and particle physics, atomic, molecular and few-body
physics, accelerator science, materials science and condensed matter
physics.

The Jefferson Lab Theory Center currently consists of sixteen permanent
staff members (ten of whom have joint appointments at neighboring
PhD-granting universities), together with two bridged faculty fellows at
participating universities in the country, and a good number of
postdoctoral research associates and graduate students. Further
information about the ODU Physics Department and Jefferson Lab can be
found at www.odu.edu/physics<http://www.odu.edu/physics> and www.jlab.org<http://www.jlab.org>, respectively.

ODU and the College of Sciences are committed to inclusive excellence,
recognizing that diversity enhances and enriches our educational mission,
employment experience, and community engagement. We seek candidates whose
research, teaching, and/or service experiences have prepared them to
fulfill our commitment to inclusion. All qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion,
gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national
origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

How to Apply

Applications should be submitted online at
https://jobs.odu.edu/postings/17657. The committee will consider all
applicants for both positions, however, applicants may wish to indicate in
their cover letter which position they believe best overlaps with their
qualifications. A complete application will consist of a cover letter
describing the individual's qualifications for the position; a curriculum
vitae; a vision statement addressing research; a vision statement
addressing teaching; a diversity statement; unofficial graduate
transcripts; and the names and contact information for three references.
The system will solicit and receive reference letters from the individuals
listed. Applications received by January 31, 2023 will receive full
consideration. The positions will remain open until they are filled.

Old Dominion University and the Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory are
equal opportunity, affirmative action institutions. Minorities, women,
veterans and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to
apply.

About ODU

Old Dominion University is a state-assisted, Carnegie R1 Institution
enrolling 24,000 students, including over 6,500 graduate students. The
University is located in Norfolk, one of the cities making up the Hampton
Roads region of Virginia, a major seaport and recreation area with a
population in excess of 1.5 million people. Programs are offered on the
main campus, at higher education centers in the region and at distant
learning sites across Virginia, the nation and the world. Norfolk Naval
Base, the largest naval base in the world, is three miles from the campus.
Federal space, aeronautics, oceanography, and nuclear physics research
facilities are nearby. In addition, strong collaboration occurs with
Eastern Virginia Medical School and Jefferson Lab. The College of Sciences
offers degrees in the areas of Biological Sciences; Chemistry and
Biochemistry; Computer Science; Mathematics and Statistics; Ocean and
Earth Sciences; Physics; and Psychology. The College offers a wide range
of undergraduate and graduate programs, including doctoral programs in
eight areas.

About Jefferson Lab

Jefferson Lab is one of the U.S. National Laboratories supported by the
U.S. Department of Energy, with the mission to perform basic research in
nuclear physics, accelerator science, and other areas of science and
technology. It operates the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility,
a unique world-class particle accelerator, supporting an extensive
research program by university groups in the national and international
scientific community. Jefferson Lab has long-standing partnerships with
academic institutions and conducts programs to help educate the next
generation in science and technology. The lab employs around 120
scientists at the PhD level and is operated by Jefferson Science
Associates, LLC.
