</div>
<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">
<div class="PlainText">Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) are seeking two<br>
outstanding theoretical physicists in the field of nuclear and hadronic<br>
physics. Both positions have an anticipated start date of Fall 2023. The<br>
successful candidates will be jointly appointed as faculty members at ODU<br>
and staff members in the Jefferson Lab Theory Center. For the first<br>
position, candidates with research experience in nuclear structure and<br>
fundamental symmetries are preferred. The tenure track appointment at ODU<br>
will be made at the Assistant Professor level. Initial funding for this<br>
position will come from a recently funded DOE Topical Collaboration grant.<br>
The second position has a broader research focus, with a tenure-track<br>
appointment at the Assistant Professor level. For the second position<br>
only, appointment at the Associate Professor level will be considered for<br>
candidates with an exceptional record of academic excellence.<br>
<br>
Minimum Qualifications<br>
<br>
A Ph.D. or equivalent in nuclear/particle physics or closely related field<br>
is required.<br>
Each successful candidate will be expected to initiate and maintain a<br>
strong, externally funded research program in nuclear and hadronic<br>
physics, and help support Jefferson Lab’s science program.<br>
At the same time, candidates should demonstrate potential for excellence<br>
in teaching and research supervision at both the undergraduate and<br>
graduate levels and will be expected to promote department inclusivity<br>
while contributing to efforts geared toward increasing participation among<br>
members of under-represented groups in science.<br>
Preferred Qualifications<br>
<br>
Postdoctoral experience is strongly preferred.<br>
Research experience in nuclear structure and fundamental symmetries are<br>
preferred for the first Assistant Professor position.<br>
The Department of Physics at Old Dominion University, where the appointees<br>
would be regular faculty members, has thirty-two regular and special<br>
appointment faculty, more than 50 graduate students and more than 80<br>
undergraduate majors. Research specializations within the department<br>
include nuclear and particle physics, atomic, molecular and few-body<br>
physics, accelerator science, materials science and condensed matter<br>
physics.<br>
<br>
The Jefferson Lab Theory Center currently consists of sixteen permanent<br>
staff members (ten of whom have joint appointments at neighboring<br>
PhD-granting universities), together with two bridged faculty fellows at<br>
participating universities in the country, and a good number of<br>
postdoctoral research associates and graduate students. Further<br>
information about the ODU Physics Department and Jefferson Lab can be<br>
found at <a href="http://www.odu.edu/physics" data-auth="NotApplicable">www.odu.edu/physics</a> and
<a href="http://www.jlab.org" data-auth="NotApplicable">www.jlab.org</a>, respectively.<br>
<br>
ODU and the College of Sciences are committed to inclusive excellence,<br>
recognizing that diversity enhances and enriches our educational mission,<br>
employment experience, and community engagement. We seek candidates whose<br>
research, teaching, and/or service experiences have prepared them to<br>
fulfill our commitment to inclusion. All qualified applicants will receive<br>
consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion,<br>
gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national<br>
origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.<br>
<br>
How to Apply<br>
<br>
Applications should be submitted online at<br>
<a href="https://jobs.odu.edu/postings/17657" data-auth="NotApplicable">https://jobs.odu.edu/postings/17657</a>. The committee will consider all<br>
applicants for both positions, however, applicants may wish to indicate in<br>
their cover letter which position they believe best overlaps with their<br>
qualifications. A complete application will consist of a cover letter<br>
describing the individual's qualifications for the position; a curriculum<br>
vitae; a vision statement addressing research; a vision statement<br>
addressing teaching; a diversity statement; unofficial graduate<br>
transcripts; and the names and contact information for three references.<br>
The system will solicit and receive reference letters from the individuals<br>
listed. Applications received by January 31, 2023 will receive full<br>
consideration. The positions will remain open until they are filled.<br>
