Tenure Track Assistant Professor Position
Department of Physics and Astronomy
University of Manitoba

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of
Manitoba invites applications for a full-time tenure track
position in experimental subatomic physics at the Assistant
Professor level, beginning July 1, 2006 or as soon as possible
thereafter.

The Department has research programs of international caliber in
experimental subatomic physics that are currently based at TRIUMF
in Canada and at Argonne, Jefferson and Los Alamos National
Laboratories in the United States. The University of Manitoba is
an Associate Member of TRIUMF, and the existing group is also
supported by memoranda of understanding which foster
collaboration at Argonne and Jefferson Laboratories. Areas of
great current interest include low energy precision tests of the
Standard Model, strange quark contributions to the nucleon
structure, precision mass measurements of unstable nuclei of
relevance to superallowed beta decay tests and nuclear
astrophysics, and hadronic weak interaction studies. (website:

Applicants must have a doctoral degree, relevant postdoctoral
experience, and an established record of publication in leading
journals. The successful candidate will be expected to establish
a vigorous, externally-funded research program, to supervise
graduate students, and to have a strong commitment to teaching at
the undergraduate and graduate levels. We are particularly
interested in candidates whose proposed research includes a
degree of collaboration in one or more of the above areas with
members of the existing subatomic physics group.

Applications must include a curriculum vitae, a highlight of
significant research accomplishments, an indication of short and
intermediate term goals of the proposed research program, a
statement of teaching interests and philosophy, and an estimate
of space, infrastructure, manpower, and start-up funding
requirements. Complete applications, together with contact
information (including email) for three referees, should be sent
to:
