EXPERIMENTAL HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS FACULTY POSITION University of California, Davis
The UCD Department of Physics invites applications for a tenure track, regular faculty position in the area of EXPERIMENTAL HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS. The position will be available starting July 1, 1990, and is part of a coordinated development of the Department that includes new positions in high energy physics. Appropriate startup funding will be available to the successful candidate. An appointment at the Assistant Professor level is planned with salary commensurate with experience. We seek an experimentalist with an excellent research record, a potential for leadership, and the ability to guide graduate students and to teach at all university levels. Current experimental activities at Davis include the AMY detec• tor at the Tristan electron-positron collider in Japan, the H1 detector at the Hera proton-electron collider in West Germany, fixed target experiments (E653 and E687) and B-Bbar collider detector development at Fermilab, hi-luminosity PEP, and SSC detector development. The theory group at UCD is also quite active, with interests ranging from mathematical physics to phe• nomenology. Activities are also facilitated by the existence of a high energy physics institute on campus. Please address applications (including curriculum vitae, list of publications, a statement of research interests, and three or more names for references) to Robert N. Shelton, Chair, Department of Physics, UCD, Davis CA 95616. Although the search will continue until a candidate with out• standing qualifications is found, review will begin on January 1, 1990. UCD is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
