Faculty Positions in Nuclear Science, Nuclear Astrophysics, Accelerator Physics, Accelerator-Related Engineering

The NSCL is in the process of developing new research capabilities with stopped and reaccelerated beams of rare isotopes and invites applications for five Faculty Positions in Nuclear Science, Nuclear Astrophysics, Accelerator Physics, or Accelerator-Related Engineering.

The successful candidates will play a leadership role in NSCL research, develop new capabilities for the NSCL, and contribute to NSCL’s graduate and undergraduate education programs. They will normally have joint appointments in one of MSU’s major academic departments where they are expected to teach. Depending upon the qualifications of the successful applicants, the positions can be filled at the assistant, associate, or full professor level; salaries are competitive. One of the positions can be a highly prestigious John A. Hannah Distinguished Professorship, which includes a generous annual research award.

The NSCL has approximately 300 employees, including 28 faculty members and over 100 graduate and undergraduate students. The laboratory currently is making a major investment to allow efficient stopping and reacceleration of rare isotopes produced by projectile fragmentation/fission and separated in flight. The NSCL’s state-of-the-art experimental equipment as well as advanced design and machining capabilities make it possible to mount a leading research program with appropriate timeliness. MSU has been advancing knowledge and transforming lives through innovative teaching, research and outreach for 150 years. Its fourteen degree-granting colleges attract scholars worldwide who are interested in combining education with practical problem solving. Information about the NSCL can be found at NSCL; information about NSCL faculty appointments can be found at Handbook.

Applicants should send a letter of application, a résumé, including a list of publications, and the names and addresses of at least three references to Prof. Wm. Lynch, Professor of Physics, NSCL, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824-1321. This position will remain open for recruitment until it is filled. MSU is committed to achieving excellence through cultural diversity. The university actively encourages applications and/or nominations of women, persons of color, veterans and person with disabilities.
