The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Georgia State University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in experimental nuclear and particle physics, to begin in August 2015 pending budgetary approval. The successful candidate will hold a joint physics faculty fellowship with GSU and the RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for a period up to 5 years. The fellow will be a full-time faculty member at GSU and spend approximately 6 months each at RBRC and GSU during each year of the fellowship. The faculty fellow will be expected to teach during at least one semester per year at GSU and establish a vigorous, funded research program that complements our current nuclear physics group, led by faculty members Dr. Xiaochun He and Dr. Murad Sarsour. Candidates must hold a PhD in Physics or closely related field and must have at least three years of relevant post-doctoral research experience. Candidates with experience in nuclear physics technology, detector development, and/or software development that can make significant contributions to large collaborative proposals in heavy ion collider and/or electron ion collider physics are strongly encouraged to apply. To apply, submit an application letter, a CV with a publication list, a detailed research plan explaining how the proposed research will complement and enhance existing research, teaching plans, and the names and contact information for at least three references to Nuclear Physics Search Committee at PhySearch@phy-astr.gsu.edu.  Application materials should be in PDF format. Questions about the position can be directed to Dr. Xiaochun He at xhe@gsu.edu. In order to receive full consideration, applications should be received by January 5, 2015. The position will remain open until filled. An offer of employment will be conditional on background verification. Georgia State University, a unit of the University System of Georgia, is an equal opportunity educational institution, and an EEO/AA employer.
