The Department of Physics at the University of Washington invites applications for a tenured faculty position (Associate Professor or Professor, depending on the qualifications of the applicant) in experimental nuclear physics. The successful candidate will have an outstanding record of research in one or more of the areas delineated in the 2007 Long-range Plan of the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee, as well as a demonstrated capacity for leadership. Current areas of interest at the University’s Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA) include nuclear astrophysics, fundamental symmetries and forces, neutrinos, and relativistic heavy-ion physics, but future interests are not limited to those areas. CENPA is one of the Department of Energy’s Centers of Excellence in nuclear physics. The successful candidate will join a physics department with very strong existing efforts in particle and nuclear physics, astrophysics, condensed matter, and physics education, and a developing program in biophysics. Applicants will be expected to participate in teaching, research, and service, and must hold a Ph.D or equivalent degree. Applicants must apply on-line to the Department of Physics application site. Consideration of applications will begin October 1, 2008 and continue until the position is filled. The University of Washington is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. The University is building a culturally diverse faculty and staff and strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and covered veterans.
