the area of Muon Spectrometer software and performance.
On the non accelerator-based side, we are looking to enhance or
complement present efforts, which include involvement in the fields of
neutrino, gravitational wave and gamma ray physics (EXO, LIGO, and
VERITAS). Further information can be found at

Department seeks an individual with outstanding research and a strong

Appointment is expected to be at the Assistant Professor level.

the separately advertised endowed Gluckstern Professorship, see

Applicants should submit a letter of application, a CV, and a
research statement, as well as arranging to have three letters of
reference sent to either particlesearch@physics.umass.edu or Particle
Faculty Search, Physics Department, 710 N. Pleasant St., University of
Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003. Priority deadline is December 7, 2007;
however, applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The
position will be filled contingent upon funding. The University of
Massachusetts is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and
