The Department of Physics at Florida State University invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in theoretical and observational Astrophysics. We are seeking applicants with a strong record of original research in stellar evolution, star formation, chemical evolution or in the physics of Supernovae and Cosmology. Both positions will be filled for the beginning of the Fall 2013 semester and we anticipate hiring at an academic-year salary of $80,916. The positions provide excellent opportunities for collaborations with FSU's strong programs in Nuclear Physics, High-Energy Physics and/or Condensed Matter Physics.
The Astrophysics group at FSU, founded in 2006, has established a vigorous research program in the fields of computational, theoretical and observational supernovae & cosmology, augmented by a network of external collaborations. The group currently consists of 2 faculty, 5 graduate students and about 60 physics undergraduate students which are enrolled in the new degree program for ``Physics and Astrophysics''.
Applicants should send a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, a research plan, and arrange for at least three letters of recommendation to be sent to: Prof. Peter Hoeflich, Physics Department, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida 32306-4350, E-mail: pah@astro.physics.fsu.edu.
Review of applications will begin November, 15 2012 and continue until the positions are filled. Florida State University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and it especially encourages applications from women and members of minority groups.
