tenure-track faculty position in theoretical/computational plasma physics

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in theoretical/computational plasma physics, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2014. Both junior-level and senior level candidates will be considered.

The UCLA Department of Physics and Astronomy has very active research programs in theoretical, computational, and experimental plasma physics which include particle-in-cell simulation, turbulence and transport in magnetized plasmas, laser-plasma interaction, plasma-based acceleration, magnetic reconnection, inertial and magnetic confinement fusion energy, high-energy density plasmas, and space plasmas. Outstanding candidates are sought with expertise in theory and simulation, and with the potential for exceptional research in frontier areas of plasma physics. The candidate is expected to develop a vibrant research program that complements existing programs, and to demonstrate teaching excellence at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The successful candidate should also have a clear commitment to enhancing the diversity of the faculty, graduate student population, and of the majors in physics and astronomy.

Candidates should submit a curriculum vita including a list of publications, a synopsis of educational goals, a statement of research interests, a list of at least five references via UCLA Academic Recruit, and arrange to have a minimum of three letters of recommendation sent to the same address.

The deadline is January 15, 2014; however the search will remain open until the position is filled. The Department has a strong commitment to the achievement of excellence and 
diversity among its faculty and staff. The University of California is an Equal
