Thank you for initiating an application for a faculty position in the
Department of Physics at the University of California, Davis. Applications
are invited for the following tenure-track positions:
This position is open until filled, with the first review on 14 November 1997. The position will be available 1 July 1998. This is the first of what are expected to be four positions available in cosmology during the next several years. Outstanding persons in all areas of cosmology will be considered. However, we are particularly interested in applicants who will interact with our existing programs in particle physics and observational astrophysics. Faculty at UC Davis have full access to both the Lick and Keck Observatories. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in physics or astrophysics and will be expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to conduct an active research program in cosmology. The level of appointment will be open and commensurate with qualifications and experience.
This position is open until filled, with the first review on 14 November 1997. The position will be available July 1, 1998. The successful candidate will join the existing high-energy group of four theoretical and five experimental faculty members. There is particular interest in a theorist with a broad range of model-building experience and related phenomenological skills relevant to physics at the next generation of hadron and lepton supercolliders. Interest/expertise in particle cosmology is also desirable. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in physics, will be expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and will have an outstanding research record and demonstrated potential for leadership in the field. The appointment will be at the Assistant or Associate Professor level as determined by qualifications and experience.
This position is open until filled, with the first review on 15 December 1997. The position will be available no later than July 1, 1999, contingent upon final administrative approval. The successful candidate will strengthen our existing program in relativistic heavy-ion physics, which is currently centered on analysis of data from the E895(AGS) and NA49(SPS) experiments; and on design, software development, and fabrication of the FTPC subsystem of STAR(RHIC). We expect to hire the candidate who will provide leadership in the ongoing STAR effort and also in future efforts at the LHC. The successful candidate will have a doctoral degree and an excellent record of accomplishments in relativistic heavy-ion physics. Dedication to high-quality undergraduate and graduate teaching and supervision of graduate students is essential. The appointment will be at the Assistant or Associate Professor level as determined by qualifications and experience.
An application consists of submitting your curriculum vitae, publication list, a research statement, and the names (including address, email, fax, and telephone number) of at least 3 references. Please do NOT arrange to have letters of recommendation sent to us; we must initiate the request to the reference. Please note that emailed letters of recommendation can not be accepted.
