Research Assistant Professor (INT Fellow)

The Department of Energy's Institute for Nuclear Theory, at the University of Washington, invites applications for two "INT Fellow" positions starting Fall 2020. These positions carry the rank of Research Assistant Professor within the Physics Department, and are limited term appointments of up to 5 years duration. These are full-time, 12-month positions and are not eligible for tenure. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service. Opportunities are available for teaching and graduate student supervision. The INT's local research interests include QCD, lattice gauge theory, quantum computing, many-body theory, nuclear astrophysics, effective field theory, weak interactions and symmetries, relativistic heavy ion physics, high energy nuclear physics, and nuclear structure. The Institute hosts approximately 450 visiting scientists each year, representing all areas of nuclear physics as well as its intersections with neighboring subfields.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent degree) in Physics, Astrophysics, or another related field, and a strong record of published research in nuclear theory, broadly defined.
