<div class="">Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Theoretical Nuclear
and Particle Physics</div>
<div class="">
<p class="">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.</p>
<p class="">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.</p>
<p class="">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 <a
href="https://jobs.nmsu.edu/postings/26430" class="">https://jobs.nmsu.edu/postings/26430</a> 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 <a
href="mailto:engel@nmsu.edu" class="">engel@nmsu.edu</a> .
NMSU is an Equal-Opportunity/Affirmative-Action employer;
Minorities, Females, Veterans, and those with a Disability are
encouraged to apply.</p>
