The University of Washington Department of Physics, in conjunction with its Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA), seeks an outstanding individual for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in experimental nuclear physics. Of particular interest are creative candidates specializing in Fundamental Symmetries or Neutrino Physics, who wish to initiate their own research programs at CENPA, or who already have a leadership role in one of the existing Nuclear Physics Long Range Plan priority programs. Current CENPA faculty are involved in the neutrino mass experiments KATRIN and Project8, the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR neutrinoless double beta decay search, high-precision muon g-2 and muon capture experiments, and a sensitive test of He-6 beta decay. CENPA is the site of the ADMX axion search, and a suite of tabletop gravity experiments. The lab provides partial support for the Hg-199 EDM search. The University of Washington is home to the national Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT), which hosts a diverse series of Programs and Workshops, as well as research in a wide variety of nuclear physics areas. The UW faculty includes groups in both nuclear and particle theory, and in experimental high-energy physics with ATLAS.
