The Department of Physics at Lamar University invites applications for a 
tenure-track faculty position in experimental nuclear physics starting 
September 1, 2025.   (A later start date is negotiable).  This position 
is a Bridge Position with the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator 
Facility (JLab), which carries a course release time of 50% for the 
first five years to afford expediting and focusing on experimental 
nuclear physics research efforts at Lamar University and JLab.  We are 
seeking an individual with a primary research interest in the hadronic 
and nuclear physics conducted at JLab, preferably on baryon structure 
studies with CLAS12 in Hall B.   The successful individual will be 
expected to build a strong research program that will enhance the 
current programs of the medium energy group at Lamar University and 
Jefferson Lab.

The position is a nine-month, tenure-track bridge position at the 
Assistant Professor level. Applicants must have a doctorate in 
experimental nuclear physics or a related field, postdoctoral experience 
in experimental nuclear physics or related field, an established record 
of publications in scientific journals, a strong commitment to 
excellence in teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and 
will be expected to initiate and lead an independent research program 
utilizing the state-of-the-art facility at Jefferson Lab.
Duties include research, teaching, and service to the University. The 
applicant is expected to establish and maintain a vibrant research 
program that complements and enhances the existing strengths in the 
department and inspires a highly motivated student body of approximately 
40 undergraduate majors who actively participate in research. For the 
five-year period of the JLab bridged professorship, the teaching 
expectation will be a maximum of two courses per semester.
