We currently have two open postdoctoral positions in theoretical physics:

1. Argonne Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Physics

   The Theory Group in the Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking exceptional candidates for a postdoctoral position that will, contingent upon funding, begin in October, 2010. We have a broad-ranging programme in
   • hadron physics
   • nuclear physics,
   • and nuclear astrophysics.
   The Group's research places strong emphasis on comparison with data from existing facilities, e.g, ATLAS at Argonne, FermiLab, JLab and RHIC; and on planning for and anticipating the output of future facilities; such as FRIB and EIC. In addition, we also conduct research in atomic physics, neutron physics, and quantum computing.

   At Argonne we intend that such a position provide an opportunity for post-doctoral training and experience to a person who has recently graduated; namely, graduated within approximately the last three years.

   Information on our group and its research activities can be found at our home page. We urge those interested in this position to examine and consider seriously the information provided on these pages. The successful applicant will have research interests that complement ours.

   Applicants should EMail a curriculum vitae and a clear, concise, one-page statement of research interests to:

   • C.D. Roberts
     email: cdroberts@anl.gov
     

   and also arrange for three letters of reference to be EMailed to this address. All application materials should be sent in either plain text or PDF.

   Applications received on or before Fri., 4/Dec./09, will receive our fullest consideration. We hope to begin interviewing candidates in January, 2010.

   Argonne is an equal opportunity employer.

2. Joint Argonne/UW-Madison Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Physics

   The Physics Division Theory Group at Argonne National Laboratory and the Theoretical Nuclear/Particle/Astrophysics/Cosmology (NPAC) Group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison invite applications for a joint post-doctoral research fellowship. Duties will include carrying out theoretical research at the interface of nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology; collaborating with members of the theory groups at Argonne and Wisconsin-Madison; and interacting with experimental colleagues at both institutions.

   The appointment will begin in October, 2010 and run for two years with an optional third year based on program needs and funding availability.

   Information on the research activities in the two groups may be found at these links: Madison and Argonne .

   Applicants should submit a:

   • curriculum vitae;
   • publication list;
   • and concise one-page statement of research interests,
   to both Prof. Michael Ramsey-Musolf (mjrm@physics.wisc.edu ) and Dr. Craig Roberts (cdroberts@anl.gov), and also arrange to have three letters of reference EMailed to these addresses.

   The deadline is December 1, 2009. However, review of applications will occur prior to the application deadline. Only electronic applications, preferably in PDF, will be accepted.

   Additional information about the nature and opportunities of this position may be obtained by contacting either Prof. Michael Ramsey-Musolf or Dr. Craig Roberts by EMail.
