TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS IN PHYSICS

TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS IN PHYSICS AT SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY

EXPERIMENTAL SOFT CONDENSED MATTER AND MATERIALS PHYSICS
We invite applications for tenure-track faculty positions in experimental soft condensed matter and materials physics, as part of an anticipated significant expansion in this area. Exceptional senior candidates will also be considered. The department currently has a strong group of faculty — Professors Mark Bowick, Kenneth Foster, Edward Lipson, Cristina Marchetti, Alan Middleton, Liviu Movileanu, Britton Plourde, Eric Schiff, Jennifer Schwarz and Xiangjun (Sean) Xing — working in condensed matter, statistical, and biological physics, with strength in both theoretical and experimental research. The new faculty member should have research interests that overlap with and/or complement the current efforts, and will join a thriving research group with a faculty keen to enlarge its impact on condensed matter and materials physics. Applicants are requested to send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, and statements of research and teaching interests as attachments in an e-mail to facultysearch@physics.syr.edu. Alternatively, materials can be mailed to: Faculty Search Committee, Department of Physics, Syracuse University, Syracuse NY 13244-1130 USA. Please be sure to label your application as “Cosmology” or “Condensed Matter.” Applicants are also asked to arrange for three or more letters of reference to be sent to the same address. All applicants should have a substantial record of research accomplishments and a strong interest and ability to teach effectively at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Review of applications will begin December 15, 2006, and will continue until the positions are filled. Syracuse University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Members of minority groups and women are especially encouraged to apply.

GRAVITATIONAL WAVE PHYSICS, OBSERVATIONAL COSMOLOGY, AND THEORETICAL COSMOLOGY
As part of a significant growth in this area, building on our established strengths in gravitational wave physics and theoretical cosmology, we invite applications for assistant professorships in experimental or observational cosmology, in theoretical gravity/cosmology, and in experimental gravitational wave physics. Candidates for the gravitational wave positions may be specialists in data analysis or in hardware development. Strong applicants from all areas of observational and theoretical cosmology will be considered, particularly those with connections to ongoing efforts in the department. The gravitational wave effort at Syracuse is headed by Prof. Peter Saulson, Spokesperson for the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. The theoretical cosmology group consists of Professors Mark Trodden, Cristian Armendariz-Picon, and Kaustubh Agashe. Successful candidates will join an energetic and growing group focused on multi-messenger cosmology.
