The University of Notre Dame invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in nuclear physics. Applications are particularly encouraged from physicists in the areas of experimental and theoretical nuclear astrophysics who will work to strengthen and broaden the existing experimental program at the Notre Dame Nuclear Science Laboratory (NSL).

The successful candidates are expected to add new research directions and techniques to the laboratory, conduct world leading research and innovative technological or computational developments, and contribute to the strong graduate and undergraduate science program of the NSL.

The NSL is a world-leading laboratory in nuclear astrophysics with a strong program in low energy reaction studies with stable and radioactive beams funded by the National Science Foundation. The nuclear physics group at Notre Dame has presently seven faculty members in experimental nuclear physics and two faculty in theoretical nuclear physics with a strong research and technical staff group providing research opportunities for more than 30 graduate students in nuclear physics (http://isnap.nd.edu/). The NSL is a core institution and founding member of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA) (http://www.jinaweb.org/), which operates experimental as well as theoretical research programs world-wide.

The Department of Physics has a faculty of 43 tenured and tenure-track faculty, 20 research faculty, and approximately 100 graduate students, and expects to add several additional tenure-track faculty positions in basic and applied nuclear physics over the next several years. Additional information about the department and the College of Science can be found at http://physics.nd.edu and http://science.nd.edu respectively.

The successful candidates must have a PhD and sufficient postdoctoral or other research experience. The applications should include a cover letter with a CV, a list of scientific publications, a research plan of no more than two pages. The applicants should also solicit letters of at least three references. For full consideration, all application material should be received by November 3. The university actively encourages applications of women and minorities.

The University of Notre Dame, an international Catholic research university, is an equal opportunity employer.
