The Physics Department of the University of Massachusetts Amherst
invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position to start
September 1, 2008. Applications are sought in both accelerator-based
and non accelerator-based experiment. On the accelerator-based side,
we are looking to expand our effort on ATLAS, where we are leading
efforts in 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 about the UMass contribution to these experiments
can be found by browsing our site: http://people.umass.edu/eppex.
The Department seeks an individual
with outstanding research and a strong commitment to teaching.
Appointment is expected to be at the Assistant Professor level.
[Outstanding Associate or Full Professors may consider applying for
the separately advertised endowed Gluckstern Professorship, see
http://www.physics.umass.edu.]
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:

or
