The Departments of Physics and Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Purdue University (http://www.physics.purdue.edu) seek applications for a faculty position in experimental Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) or the application of cosmogenic nuclides. This position would be associated with the Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement Laboratory (PRIME Lab). This is a national facility which supports researchers from Purdue and from around the world in studies of cosmogenic (extra-terrestrial and terrestrial) nuclides and biomedical applications of rare isotopes. The successful candidate is expected to have a scientific program that utilizes AMS. Expertise in developing AMS techniques would also be valuable but is not essential. The level of the position is Assistant Professor. The home department will be in either Physics, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, or a joint appointment in these two departments, depending on the candidate?s research program. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in an AMS related field, an outstanding record of research accomplishments, and evidence of potential excellence in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Salary and benefits are highly competitive. Candidates are expected to develop vigorous research programs, supervise graduate students, and to teach undergraduate and graduate courses. Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, publication list, and brief descriptions of their planned research program and teaching philosophy. Electronic submission is preferred: https://www.physics.purdue.edu/searches/app/ . At least three letters of recommendation should be sent to AMS Search, Department of Physics, Purdue University, 525 Northwestern Ave., West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-2036, USA. Applications completed by January 15, 2009 will be given full consideration, although the search will continue until the position is filled. Purdue University is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access/Affirmative Action employer fully committed to achieving a diverse workforce.
