The Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy invites
applications for the Homer L. Dodge Endowed Chair in high energy
physics. This is one of three endowed chairs made possible by a gift in
honor of Homer L. Dodge, a former chair of the department, co–founder
and first president of the American Association of Physics Teachers, and
a principal figure in the formation of the American Institute of
Physics. The department has active research groups in astronomy and
astrophysics; atomic, molecular, and chemical physics; high energy
physics; and solid state and applied physics. The high energy faculty
consists of 4 experimentalists and 3 theorists. Current research
interests in high energy physics include work on the DØ and ATLAS
experiments, collider phenomenology and theoretical studies of quantum
field theories. Further information about the department can be found at
Qualified applicants in theoretical and experimental high energy physics
are encouraged to apply. The appointment is expected to begin in August,
2008, at the full or associate professor level with tenure. Salary will
be commensurate with qualifications and
experience. The successful applicant will have a Ph.D. in physics, a
demonstrated record of accomplishment in research as evidenced by an
ongoing
externally funded research program, and a publication record that
provides evidence of outstanding creativity and
promise of future research contributions. The department enjoys a
friendly and supportive work environment, and the successful applicant
is expected to contribute to this environment. The ability to
collaborate with other members of the high energy physics group,
directly or indirectly, and to teach effectively at the graduate and
undergraduate levels, is desired.
Applications, consisting of a cover letter, C.V.,
list of publications, statement of research and teaching interests, and
the names of three references (who will be contacted only with
permission of the applicant) should be submitted electronically,
preferably as a single pdf file, to
