The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Department of Physics invite applications for an anticipated tenure-track faculty position in experimental nuclear/particle physics. With the ongoing development of the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) in Lead, South Dakota, our department is expanding into research areas related to neutrino physics, neutrinoless double beta decay, direct detection of dark matter, nuclear astrophysics, proton decay, and related experiments requiring deep underground shielding and low-background counting. We primarily seek candidates at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at a more senior level will be considered. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear/particle physics or related field. The successful candidate will be expected to build strong externally funded research programs, supervise graduate students, and teach at the undergraduate and graduate level. The anticipated start date for this position is August 22, 2011.
The School of Mines is a public state university offering baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral degrees in science and engineering with a student population of approximately 2,400 traditional and non-traditional learners representing 40 states and 27 countries. The university is located at the foot of the beautiful Black Hills in Rapid City, South Dakota's second largest city. Twenty-five miles from Mount Rushmore, Rapid City has a relatively mild climate and the Black Hills offer numerous opportunities for summer and winter outdoor experiences.
