Faculty Position in Theoretical
Nuclear Physics
The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota
invites applications for a tenure track assistant professor position in
nuclear theory with an anticipated starting date in the fall of 2006.
The initial appointment will be a cooperative fellowship with the RIKEN
BNL Research Center (RBRC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for
a period of up to 5 years. During this period the Assistant
Professor/Fellow will spend about half time at the University of
Minnesota and the remaining time at the RBRC in BNL. Current interests
of the nuclear theory group in the School of Physics and Astronomy
include relativistic heavy ion collisions and nuclear astrophysics, but
candidates with expertise in a broad range of research areas consistent
with the RBRC fellowship program will be considered. Candidates will be
judged on their potential for excellence in research and teaching. The
successful candidate is expected to have postdoctoral experience in one
of these research areas and must have demonstrated the ability to
conduct vigorous and significant research. The ability to effectively
teach physics at both the undergraduate and graduate level is required.
Applicants should send a curriculum vita, publication list, description
of past research and of future research plans, and arrange to have at
least 3 letters of reference sent to:
Professor Allen Goldman, Head
School of Physics and Astronomy
University of Minnesota
116 Church Street SE
Minneapolis, MN 55455
The application and letters of reference must also be sent to:
Dr. Nicholas Samios, Director,
RIKEN BNL Research Center, Building 510A,
Brookhaven National Laboratory, Box 5000,
Upton, NY 11973-5000.
Review of applications will begin on February 28, 2006 but
applications will continue to be accepted until the position is filled.
