Opportunities


Assistant or Associate Professor
Department of Physics, Northeastern University

The Department of Physics at Northeastern University expects to make a tenured or tenure-track appointment in experimental nanophysics to start in September, 2005. The appointment is expected to be at the senior Assistant or junior Associate Professor level, but a junior Assistant Professor appointment is also possible for an exceptionally qualified candidate. Preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrated the ability to lead an outstanding externally funded research program and excel in the teaching of physics. The University's broad-based nanotechnology initiative presently includes a new NSF funded Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center and a number of new nanoscience facilities within physics, engineering, and the new interdisciplinary Kostas Center for Nanotechnology and Nanomanufacturing. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in physics and postdoctoral experience. Applications received by December 1, 2004 will receive priority consideration.
Applicants should send a C.V., a research plan, a summary of research accomplishments, and arrange for at least three letters of recommendation to be sent to:

Northeastern University, Department of Physics
110 Forsyth Street, Boston, MA 02115



Postdoctoral Position in Biological
or Condensed Matter Theoretical Physics
at Northeaster University (NU)

The Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Complex Systems (CIRCS) is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work in theoretical biological physics and in quantum computing (QC) applications to condensed matter systems (see http://www.circs.neu.edu). Present interest relate to cell biology, computational neurobiology, and QC applications in nano devices. The position will start on September 2005. Application and three letters of recommendation should be sent in PDF format to k.simmons@neu.edu, or by regular mail to: "CIRCS postdoctoral opening", CIRCS and Physics Department, Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Ave. Boston MA 02115, USA. NU is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, and we encourage applications from minority and women candidates.


Postdoctoral Position in Biological Physics/Quantum Computation

Applicants are invited to apply for a postdoctoral position in the area of Physics Biological or Quantum Computation, starting Fall 2005. Current emphasis is on computational modeling of these issues. A strong background in analytical and numerical modeling, as well as experience with Unix workstations and supercomputing are desired.

Please send a curriculum vitae, a brief description of research accomplishments, and three letters of recommendation to:
