Job Description:

Tenure-track assistant professor in experimental nuclear physics The Department of Physics and Astronomy, College of Science, of Texas A & M University invites applications for an assistant professor in experimental low-energy nuclear physics. This is a full-time, tenure-track faculty position with a nine-month academic appointment. The anticipated start date is August 1, 2021. The position includes joint appointments in the Cyclotron and Nuclear Science Institutes. The successful candidate will establish a vigorous, independent research program that will attract external funding, assume full teaching responsibilities at the graduate and undergraduate levels of physics, and contribute to the service missions of the department. A significant portion of the research program will be based at the Cyclotron Institute and contribute to its thriving research environment. The Texas A & M University Cyclotron Institute, a Department of Energy University Center of Excellence, is jointly supported by the DOE and the State of Texas and is a major technical and educational resource for the state and the nation. The low-energy nuclear physics group pursues research in the areas of nuclear structure, weak interactions and fundamental symmetries, exotic nuclei, nuclear astrophysics, intermediate-energy reaction dynamics, nuclear thermodynamics, the nuclear equation of state, atomic physics, and applied nuclear science. These accelerator-based programs utilize the resources available at the Institute, which includes two cyclotrons a newly-refurbished K150 and a superconducting K500 as well as a wide variety of modern experimental equipment. Texas A & M University is committed to enriching the learning and working environment for all students, researchers, faculty, staff, and visitors by promoting a culture that embraces inclusion, diversity, equity, and accountability.
