The Department of Physics at New Mexico State University seeks
applicants for a tenure-track position at the level of assistant
professor in experimental nuclear and hadronic physics. The successful
candidate is expected to teach undergraduate and graduate physics and
establish an externally-funded research program directly involving
graduate and undergraduate students.The NMSU Department of Physics
offers Bachelor's degrees in physics and engineering physics and
Master's and Doctoral degrees.

Current research areas in the department include nuclear/hadronic
physics, solid-state/condensed-matter physics, materials science, and
optics. The experimental high-energy nuclear physics group (M. Paolone,
B. Duran) pursues research on fundamental properties of the nucleon,
nucleon structure, excitation, medium modification, and short range
correlation at national and international labs including the Thomas
Jefferson National Accelerator Facility and the Paul Scherrer Institute.
The theoretical nuclear and particle physics group (M. Engelhardt, M.
Sievert, R. Sufian) conducts research in the areas of hot and cold QCD,
including hadron structure, lattice QCD, jets, and gluon saturation.

We seek a person who will grow a vigorous, externally-funded research
program in strong interaction physics at a US facility and have a deep
commitment to both graduate and undergraduate physics education. All
candidates must have a Ph.D. degree, at least one year of post-doctoral
research experience, and an established record of research and
publications in experimental nuclear physics. Candidates must submit a
curriculum vitae which includes a list of publications, and a diversity,
equity, and inclusion statement with their application. Candidates must
also include both a teaching philosophy statement and a research
statement, which should include a brief summary of experience and a
description of future plans. Candidates are also asked to provide a list
of three references who are willing to provide a letter in support of
the applicant if contacted by the search committee. Applications must be
submitted electronically by Nov. 30th, 2024 at
