FACULTY POSITION

Experimental Nuclear Physics

Nuclear Astrophysics and/or Physics of Exotic Nuclei

Department of Physics

Florida State University

The Florida State University Physics Department invites applications for a faculty position in experimental nuclear physics, with a focus of nuclear astrophysics and/or the physics of exotic nuclei. Compensation and rank will depend on the qualifications of the applicant. The position provides excellent opportunities to pursue original research at the John D. Fox accelerator laboratory and national facilities, leading up to the FRIB laboratory.  The experimental nuclear physics group is operating an accelerator laboratory with a 9 MV tandem van-de-Graaff and a 9 MV superconducting LINAC booster. The focus of the scientific program is the RESOLUT in-flight exotic beam facility, which supports research in nuclear astrophysics and the physics of exotic nuclei. The ANASEN active-target detector and the RESONEUT detector array provide world-class scientific opportunities. Additional instrumentation includes a gamma detector array with digital electronics, scattering chambers, neutron TOF detectors, and the flexibility to bring other detection apparatus.  Applicants are expected to develop an original research program centered at the local facility, with a perspective for research at national facilities and the planned  FRIB laboratory.  Applicants should send a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, a research plan, and arrange for at least three letters of recommendation to be sent to: Prof. Samuel L. Tabor, Physics Department, Florida State University, Tallahassee,  Florida 32306-4350.  Review of applications will begin August 31, 2013  and continue until the position is filled. Florida State University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and it especially encourages applications from women and members of minority groups.
