Tenure-Track Position in Astrophysics

"Due to cuts in the University's budget necessitated by financial
circumstances in the State of North Carolina, this search has been
suspended until further notice."

The Department of Physics and Astronomy invites applications for a tenure-track position in astrophysics.  The search will give some preference to theory, instrumentation, and infrared or longer wavelength observation, but excellent candidates in all areas are encouraged to apply.  Existing faculty have active research programs in galaxy evolution and dynamics, cosmology, stellar populations, compact objects, nuclear and neutrino astrophysics, general relativity, and instrumentation.  The Research Triangle is a dynamic R&D environment including NC State and Duke Universities, with NRAO/GBT a few hours drive away.  UNC-CH has 60 nights guaranteed per year on the high-performance 4m SOAR telescope atop Cerro Pachon, Chile, and operates a state-of-the-art remote observing center.  We are also a partner in the 11-m SALT telescope in South Africa and run a network of robotic telescopes (the PROMPT rapid response array in Chile and SkyNet globally).  The Goodman Instrumentation Lab built SOAR's high-throughput facility spectrograph and is working on several other SOAR and large telescope instrument projects.

Applicants should apply on line by visiting https://s4.its.unc.edu/RAMS4/searchCriteria.do?type=F, specifying Physics and Astronomy in the Department drop-down list box, and uploading pdf versions of their cover letter, CV, publication list, and separate research and teaching statements by January 8, 2009. They must also arrange for four letters of recommendation to arrive by the same date via email at astrosearch2008@physics.unc.edu  and subsequently in hardcopy.  UNC is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages women and minority applicants.

FACULTY POSITION IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL

"Due to cuts in the University's budget necessitated by financial
circumstances in the State of North Carolina, this search has been
suspended until further notice."

We invite applications for a faculty position in theoretical physics. Candidates should have demonstrated an excellent record of achievements, have broad interests and thorough training in theoretical physics in the fields of cosmology, gravitational physics, particle physics, nuclear physics, or quantum many-body theory, and have a commitment to high quality research and teaching. The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is in the process of a multi-year plan to fill several positions in theoretical physics. These new colleagues will complement our existing strengths in theoretical physics and be expected to play a major role in subsequent recruitments. The appointments can be at the tenured or non-tenured level, depending on the experience and achievements of the candidates.

Interested applicants are required to apply on line by visiting https://s4.its.unc.edu/RAMS4/searchCriteria.do?type=F, specifying Physics and Astronomy in the Department drop-down list box, and uploading pdf versions of their CV and statements of research and teaching interests and plans. Candidates must also arrange to have at least four letters of recommendation sent via email to theory-search-2008@physics.unc.edu and subsequently in hardcopy. Review of applications will begin on December 15, 2008 and will continue until the position is filled. We particularly encourage applications from members of under-represented groups. The University of North Carolina is an equal opportunity employer.
