Faculty and Postdoctoral Appointments in Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics at Arizona State University
Arizona State University announces a major new initiative in Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics, led by Professors Paul Davies, Lawrence Krauss, and Rogier Windhorst. Beginning in the Fall of 2009 and continuing over the next five years, we anticipate the appointment of up to 8-10 new faculty at the ranks of Full, Associate, and Assistant Professor, and as many postdoctoral research appointments. The School of Earth and Space Exploration invites expressions of interest regarding theoretical, observational, and experimental cosmology, as well as in engineering fields that support cosmology and particle astrophysics.
The Department of Physics seeks expressions of interest in the fields of theoretical and experimental particle astrophysics and cosmology. Joint appointments in both academic units and affiliations with the Beyond Center and the Fulton School of Engineering are possible. Faculty appointments include highly competitive startup packages and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. Several Prize postdoctoral appointments, renewable for up to 3 years, will also include a research stipend to cover research needs. Areas of current interest include the early universe, physics beyond the standard model, neutrino astrophysics, cosmic rays, quantum cosmology, gravitational waves, extra dimensions, inflation and multiverse models, dark matter, dark energy, large-scale structure, galaxy assembly, stellar evolution, and supermassive black hole growth.
Interested faculty applicants should send a letter of interest, a research and teaching plan, and provide contact information for at least 3 references to http://physics.asu.edu/cosmology-positions. Questions may be directed to cosmologyfac@asu.edu.
Postdoctoral applicants should send a letter of interest, a research plan, and arrange to have 3 letters of recommendation sent to cosmologypostdoc@asu.edu by Dec 15th, 2008.
A background check is required for employment.
Arizona State University is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity.

The Beyond Center at Arizona State University seeks applications for a tenure-track assistant or associate professor. The Beyond Center is a research unit within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences that explores fundamental questions in science; led by Dr. Paul Davies, Director and Dr. Lawrence Krauss, Associate Director. Current prime areas of interest with active and growing research programs include mathematical biology (the latter with a particular focus on the physical basis of cancer), cosmology, particle theory, foundational questions in quantum mechanics, and astrobiology: additional details can be found on the center's website HTTP://BEYOND.ASU.EDU . The successful candidate will have a tenure home in a relevant academic unit (e.g., Physics, Life Sciences, Earth and Space Exploration). Candidates should have a PhD and at least two years of postdoctoral research experience in one of the prime areas of interest or a related field, an outstanding record of research accomplishments with a clear potential to establish a vigorous externally funded research program and show a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and public outreach. The successful candidate should be a "big thinker" with a strong interest in foundational scientific questions, and should have good organizational skills for running several scientific workshops and associated public outreach events each year. Demonstrated experience in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment is desired.
Complete applications will include a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, a research and teaching plan, and contact information for at least 3 references. Materials should be submitted electronically at http://physics.asu.edu/employment.php
Applications will be considered until January 15, 2010. The appointment may begin as early as August 16, 2010.
Please direct questions to beyondfac@asu.edu. A background check is required for employment.
Arizona State University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to excellence through diversity. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
