TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN ACCELERATOR PHYSICS
Idaho State University
The DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS and the Idaho Accelerator
Center at Idaho State University invite applications for a tenure-track
faculty position in accelerator physics at the Assistant Professor level
beginning August 2008. In exceptional circumstances, a more senior
level appointment may be considered. This is a joint position in
conjunction with the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
(Jefferson Lab) in Newport News, VA, and is pending Idaho State Board of
Education approval. A Ph.D. degree in physics or a closely related field
is required. Candidates are expected to effectively teach a range of
physics classes including upper division accelerator physics courses,
and to pursue an active program of graduate advising. The successful
candidate will be expected to pursue research and funding in areas of
accelerator physics that are of mutual interest to the Idaho Accelerator
Center and Jefferson Lab. An initial project will involve the
development and testing of a prototype positron source at the Idaho
Accelerator Center, with the aim of investigating its implementation at
Jefferson Laboratory for use in fundamental nuclear and particle physics
research. Idaho State University has a large accelerator research center
with more operating research accelerators than any other university in
North America. It also has two laboratories for low-level radionuclide
analysis for environmental measurements and other activities. The
Department offers B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics and Health
Physics. Salary is competitive. Located in the heart of the Northern
Rockies, ISU is within a few hours drive of Yellowstone, the Tetons, Sun
Valley, world-class skiing facilities in northern Utah, and numerous
fishing, rafting and mountain biking opportunities. Consideration of
applications will begin March 15 and continue until the position is
filled. Send a letter of application, resume, official transcripts and
three letters of recommendation to:
