Postdoctoral Research Associate Medium Energy Nuclear Physics, Ref. #20709-09
The IU nuclear physics group has an active and diverse program, addressing fundamental questions in nuclear and particle physics. Faculty members currently play leadership roles in a wide range of experiments, including investigations of the flavor and spin structure of the nucleon using the STAR detector at RHIC, studies of parity violation in thermal neutron-proton capture at LANSCE, neutrino measurements at Fermilab and DUSEL, and searches for electric dipole moments. Local facilities include a 200 MeV light ion cyclotron and a low energy neutron source, which can be used for detector development and testing. The laboratory also provides excellent personnel infrastructure, allowing strong participation in major off-site projects. Opportunities are available on all major research projects.
Initial appointments as a postdoctoral research associate will be for one year, with possible renewal for up to two additional years. A Ph.D. in experimental subatomic physics is required. Applications for postdoctoral positions are accepted on a continuing basis, and starting dates can be adjusted to suit the situation of the candidates.Send résumé, bibliography and contact information for three references to:

Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Test of Gravity at Short Ranges #20902-03
Strongly motivated postdoctoral research associate being sought by the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility to work with Professor Joshua Long to conduct an experimental test of gravity at short ranges. The experiment uses a high-frequency technique departing from the traditional torsion-pendulum approach. It is designed to be sensitive to gravity as well as a number of possible signatures of new physics in the range below 100 microns. Detailed information about the experiment can be found at: http://www.iucf.indiana.edu/u/jcl/personal/research.htm. A Ph. D. in Physics is required. Preference will be given to applicants with experience in one or more of the following areas: cryogenic techniques, low-noise electronics, microfabrication, and precision mechanical design. The duration of the position is two years with possible renewal for an additional year.
Applicants should send a CV, statement of research interests, a list of publications, and 3 names for reference to: Dianne Dupree, IUCF, 2401 Milo B. Sampson Lane, Bloomington, IN 47408, or electronically (preferred) to: didupree@indiana.edu. Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is identified.

Director, Indiana University Cyclotron Facility
Applications are invited for the directorship of the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF). The IUCF has a diverse mission of multi-disciplinary research, service and education and also provides technical support and beam to the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute (MPRI), one of only five such facilities in the United States. We seek a scientist or a science manager with a distinguished record of accomplishment who will provide the vision, leadership, and entrepreneurial spirit needed to sustain and further IUCF’s outstanding scientific research efforts, and will support the partnership with MPRI in the development of new radiotherapy treatments, technologies and applications.
IUCF conducts research in a variety of areas, including accelerator physics, condensed matter physics, medical physics, nuclear physics, nuclear chemistry, radiation effects on materials and radiation biology. The facility collaborates closely with the nationally ranked nuclear physics program at Indiana University Bloomington, which is currently developing detectors for use at national facilities to study high-energy spin physics,
fundamental neutron physics, and neutrino oscillations. The facility is also developing novel neutron scattering instrumentation for the Low-Energy Neutron Source at IUCF, which recently began operation.The director will serve a five-year term starting in the summer of 2008 and will receive a tenured professorship in the College of Arts and Sciences. Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. Nominations are welcome. Applications with a complete resume, including the names of four references, should be sent as soon as possible to:
Professor Alex Dzierba
Chairperson, Search and Screen Committee
Office of the Vice Provost for Research
Indiana University
Franklin Hall 116-Y

Postdoctoral Position in Neutron Radiography #20810-22
The Indiana University Cyclotron Facility is seeking an experimental physicist to develop techniques and detectors for the neutron radiography program at the IU Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS). We have recently initiated a program of research in this area and are searching for an individual to play a major role in this effort. The successful applicant would be expected to design, build, and test detectors for neutron imaging and calorimetry with applications in the areas of material science and threat reduction.
Initial appointments as postdoctoral research associate will be for one year, with possible renewal for two additional years. A Ph.D. in experimental physics is required. Applications will be accepted until a suitable candidate is hired. Interested applicants should send a curriculum vita and a statement of research interests to: Dianne Dupree, IUCF, 2401 Milo B. Sampson Lane, Bloomington, IN 47408, or to didupree@indiana.edu.

Postdoctoral Position in LENS #20810-23
The Low Energy Neutron Source (LENS) at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility is seeking applicants for several post-doctoral positions. Research at LENS itself includes the development of instrumentation for Small Angle Neutron scattering, reflectometry, and spin-echo techniques and the application of these technique to problems in complex fluids, hydrogen storage, nano-structured materials, membranes, and other areas of condensed matter physics. In addition, LENS is developing partnerships with both national and international neutron facilities, (e.g., NIST, HMI, and the SNS), for investigating inelastic neutron scattering, novel instrumentation, and advanced moderator systems.
A PhD in physics is required. Initial appointments as postdoctoral research associate will be for one year, with possible renewal for two additional years. A Ph.D. in experimental physics is required. Applications will be accepted until a suitable candidate is hired.
