The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh invites
applications for a new faculty member in our experimental neutrino physics group to join
our tenured or tenure-stream faculty. In addition to an appointment in the Department of
Physics and Astronomy http://www.physicsandastronomy.pitt.edu, any appointment will
also be associated with the Pittsburgh Particle physics, Astrophysics, and Cosmology
Center (PITT PACC). This appointment, which is subject to budgetary approval, would
begin in the fall term 2023, or thereafter.
Present HEP faculty members have expertise in collider and neutrino experiments;
applicants who can enhance or extend our existing program are required. The focus of the
search is on experimentalists with demonstrated abilities in neutrino physics research. A
PhD in physics or astrophysics or related field is required. The Pitt neutrino group has a
strong effort in neutrino physics including focus on detailed studies of neutrino
interactions with matter, accelerator based neutrino oscillations that have produced
intriguing indications of CP violation in the lepton sector and BSM physics. Applicants
would be expected to attract external funding and to pursue a creative, independent and
broad-based research program. The successful candidate is encouraged to initiate new
directions within the neutrino physics field or closely related field, as well as maintain
some cohesion with current neutrino group efforts. The ability to teach effectively at both
the graduate and undergraduate levels is essential to the position. The successful
candidate should also be able to interact with other members of our Department as well
as connect with the broader scientific community in Pittsburgh.
To ensure full consideration, complete applications should be received by December 31,
2022. However, applications will be accepted for the duration of the search. Applicants
can apply online at: Job Description - Faculty Professor Assistant - Full-Time (22007677)
(taleo.net). Candidates should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae,
publication list, a statement explaining your research accomplishments and future plans, a
statement discussing your teaching experience, interests, and approaches, and a
statement addressing your views and ideas about advancing the university’s goal
of recruiting and supporting a diverse student population. Three letters of
recommendation should be emailed to slogan@pitt.edu. The University of Pittsburgh is
an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and values equality of opportunity,
human dignity and diversity. EEO/AA/M/F/Vets/Disabled. |
