We will be conducting faculty searches in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics and Experimental Biological Physics.

FACULTY POSITION

BIOLOGICAL PHYSICS

http://www.vanderbilt.edu/physics

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor appointment in experimental biological physics to begin in the 2009-2010 academic year. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics or a related field, a compelling record of research accomplishments, and a strong interest in teaching physics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applications from any area of biological physics will be considered. Active areas of biological physics research at Vanderbilt span the range from single molecules to molecular ensembles to cellular dynamics and systems biology with experimental expertise in imaging science, optics, nanotechnology, microfluidics, electrophysiology, and systems modeling. This work is supported by trans-institutional programs in Imaging Sciences, Integrative Biosystems, Structural Biology, Chemical Biology, Nanoscience, and Advanced Computing which foster close collaborations between Physics, Chemistry, and Biological Sciences with the School of Engineering and the School of Medicine. Vanderbilt University is located in Nashville, Tennessee, a cosmopolitan city rich in cultural activities.

Applications, including a curriculum vitae, list of research publications, statement of research and teaching interests, several representative publications, and at least three letters of recommendation, should be sent to:

Professor David W. Piston

Chair, Biological Physics Search Committee

Department of Physics and Astronomy

Vanderbilt University

VU Station B# 351807

2301 Vanderbilt Place

Nashville, TN 37235-1807

Review of applications will begin Nov. 1, 2008 and continue until the position is filled.

Vanderbilt University is an equal employment opportunity/affirmative action employer. Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply.

FACULTY POSITION
EXPERIMENTAL CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS
http://www.vanderbilt.edu/physics

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor appointment in experimental condensed matter physics, to begin in the 2009-2010 academic year. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics or a related field, a strong record of research accomplishments, and an interest in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Active areas of experimental research at Vanderbilt include nanoscale optics and plasmonics, ultrafast laser interactions with materials, semiconductor physics, lanthanide and organic nanomaterials, and thin films. Theoretical research areas include computational materials physics, atomic-scale dynamics, mesoscopic dynamics in complex solids, laser interactions with materials, and nanoscale physics. The Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscale Science and Engineering operates well-equipped nanofabrication and characterization facilities, and facilitates collaborations between members of the Physics Department, Chemistry Department, and several departments in the College of Engineering at Vanderbilt. Applications from any area of experimental condensed matter physics will be considered. Vanderbilt University is located in Nashville, Tennessee, a cosmopolitan city with many cultural activities.

Applications, including a curriculum vitae, list of research publications, statement of research and teaching interests, and at least three letters of recommendation, should be sent to:
