<p align="center"><b>INDIANA UNIVERSITY</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The
Department of Physics at Indiana University invites applications
for two
positions in theoretical physics: one in condensed matter physics
and one in
nuclear/astro physics, subject to funding and approval for
appointment
beginning Fall 2011. Candidates will be evaluated for appointment
at the tenure-track
assistant professor level at a salary commensurate with
qualifications and
experience. Members of IU’s world-class efforts in Nuclear and
Condensed Matter
theory are also active within the newly created Center for
Exploration of
Energy and Matter (CEEM) that provides enhanced support for
research in each
area and promotes cross-disciplinary research. Outstanding Ph.D.
scientists
from all subfields of nuclear and condensed matter physics are
encouraged to
apply. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The
successful nuclear physics candidate will join one of the top
nuclear physics
groups in the US and will be expected to develop a world-class
research program
in any of the forefront areas of theoretical nuclear physics:
QCD, physics of the
quark/gluon plasma, lattice gauge theory, hadron physics, nucleon
spin physics,
relativistic heavy ion physics, neutrino physics, weak
interactions and symmetries, nuclear astrophysics, and nuclear
structure.
The initial
appointment will be a cooperative fellowship with the RIKEN BNL
Research Center
(RBRC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory for a period of up to
five years.
During this period, the Assistant Professor/Fellow will spend
about half
his/her time at Indiana University and the remaining time at the
RBRC in BNL.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Details about the group may be found at
<a href="http://www.iub.edu/%7Eiubphys/research/nuclear.shtml">http://www.iub.edu/~iubphys/research/nuclear.shtml</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The
successful candidate for the condensed matter theory position will
join a group
currently engaged in research on low dimensional electron systems,
superconductivity, quantum magnetism, topological quantum order
and
computation, optical properties of structured matter, correlated
electronic and
atomic systems, complex fluids, and soft condensed matter. CEEM
is also home to unique facilities for
the study of condensed matter systems including structure at large
scales
(1-1000 nm) using the Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS). More
information about
the group may be found at <a
href="http://www.iub.edu/%7Eiubphys/research/condensed.shtml">http://www.iub.edu/~iubphys/research/condensed.shtml</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A
commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and
graduate level is
essential. Candidates should submit a letter of application,
research
statement, curriculum vitae, and a minimum of three letters of
reference to
<a href="mailto:physsrch@indiana.edu">physsrch@indiana.edu</a> or
by mail to: Faculty Search, Department of Physics, 727
E. 3rd St., Bloomington, IN 47405-7105. If applying for the
nuclear/astro
theory position, also mail to: Dr. Nicholas Samios, Director,
RIKEN BNL Research Center, Building 510A,
Brookhaven National Laboratory, Box 5000, Upton, NY 11973-5000.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applications
received by January 15, 2011 will be given full consideration.
