JOBS

Research Fellow, Centre for Plasma Physics, Queen's University Belfast

Post-doctoral researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

An opening is available immediately at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the Accelerator and Fusion Research Division, for a post-doctoral researcher who will participate in computer simulations of beams and plasmas. The research will be conducted jointly in the Fusion Energy Research and Ion Beam Technology group and the Center for Beam Physics group. These groups are at the forefront of high-performance modeling of beams (relativistic and non- relativistic) in accelerators and plasmas, and have pioneered some of the most advanced methods.

The candidate is expected to participate actively in the development of novel methods for high-performance beam and plasma computer simulations, including  all or part of adaptive mesh refinement method(s) for electromagnetic, electrostatic and/or magneto-inductive particle-in-cell simulations; optimum boosted frame simulations of ultra-relativistic interactions; novel methods for the modeling of high-density non-neutral plasmas; and multiscale methods.

Visiting Assistant Professor - Laboratory of Plasma Studies, Cornell University

The Laboratory of Plasma Studies at Cornell University is seeking outstanding candidates for a visiting assistant professorship in the area of high energy density plasma studies. The successful candidate will be associated with either the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering or the School of Applied and Engineering Physics.
A PhD degree in experimental plasma physics is required, with a background in high energy density plasma research beneficial but not essential. We are particularly interested in candidates who can work well with graduate students on existing research programs as well as initiate new high energy density plasma research projects. The appointment is for three years, with the possibility of renewal. While this is primarily a research appointment, some undergraduate and/or graduate teaching responsibilities are also anticipated.
Initial requests for information may be sent to Professors David Hammer and/or Bruce Kusse by e-mail to plasmarecruiters@ece.cornell.edu. Applications should be submitted electronically via the same e-mail address. Applicants should include a letter of application with a professional resume, statements of research and teaching goals, the names and contact information of at least three references and up to three representative publications. Applications received by February 15, 2008 will be assured full consideration.
The Laboratory of Plasma Studies at Cornell embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will create a climate that attracts students of all races, nationalities and genders. We strongly encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply. Cornell University seeks to meet the needs of dual career couples and is a member of the Upstate New York Higher Education Recruitment Consortium to assist with dual career
searches. Visit http://www.upstatenyherc.org/home/index.cfm?site_id=671 to see positions available in higher education in the upstate New York area. Cornell University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action educator and employer

Faculty Position in Theoretical AMO Physics, The University of Colorado at Boulder

The Department of Physics and JILA at the University of Colorado at Boulder invites applications for a faculty position in theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics to start August 2008. Junior and senior candidates will be considered for this position. The successful applicant(s) will be rostered in the Physics Department and reside in JILA, a premier academic research institute administered jointly by NIST and the University of Colorado. They will be expected to lead an internationally-recognized research program involving graduate, undergraduate, and postdoctoral students, and to participate in departmental teaching and service responsibilities. We have particular interest in candidates who would expand the scope of our current strong theoretical efforts at JILA. Areas of particular interest include strong-field science, chemical physics, nanoscience, quantum control, quantum information, quantum optics, and ultracold science. The Department and JILA have a number of exceptionally successful faculty from underrepresented groups, and are especially seeking applications from women and minority researchers. More information about JILA can be found at http://jilawww.colorado.edu.

Application Procedure: Interested persons should send a curriculum vitae which includes research and teachingexperience, and a research proposal (1-2 pages), and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to:

AMO Theory Search Committee
JILA, 440 UCB
University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0440.

Closing Date: Application review will begin December 1, 2007, and will continue until the position is filled.

The University of Colorado at Boulder is committed to diversity and equality in education and employment. In that spirit, applications at all levels will be considered from those who would strengthen the Department's diversity. See http://www.colorado.edu/ArtsSciences/Jobs for the full job description.
