The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Ohio University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Experimental Nuclear Physics beginning in September 2008. The opening is at the Assistant Professor level.

The department presently has 26 regular faculty members and approximately 65 students in its graduate program. The new faculty member will also be part of Ohio University's (Institute for Nuclear and Particle Physics). (INPP). The INPP has active research programs in three main areas: (1) low-energy experiments -- using the on-campus Edwards Accelerator Laboratory as well as external facilities; (2) medium-energy experiments -- with research primarily conducted at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility; and (3) nuclear/particle theory. For this position we seek outstanding candidates whose expertise will enhance the INPP's experimental research efforts in one (or more) of the following areas: medium-energy nuclear, low-energy nuclear, nuclear astrophysics, relativistic heavy ions, fundamental symmetries, or neutrino physics. Further details of the research interests and activities of INPP and ApI can be found on the departmental web-site www.phy.ohiou.edu under Research.

Applicants should have a Ph.D., post-doctoral experience, and a strong record of independent research. The successful candidate is expected to initiate and maintain a vigorous research program and be an effective teacher at both the undergraduate and graduate level. In addition to the research in nuclear and particle physics carried out within the INPP, the Department also has strong research efforts in astronomy/astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, and nanoscience. Interested candidates should send a vita, a statement of research plans, and a statement of teaching philosophy to:
