11 February 2021
The Department of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis (https://physics.wustl.edu) invites applications for a tenure-track/tenured faculty appointment in Physics at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor to begin in the fall semester of 2021. A Ph.D. in Physics or a closely related discipline is required at the time of appointment. We invite applicants in all areas of theoretical, observational, and experimental astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics and nuclear physics who specialize in the use of data-intensive methods, data mining, statistics, large-scale computer simulations, machine learning, neural network, and GPU computing. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, simulations of astrophysical processes (e.g. black hole and neutron star accretion or merger, cosmological simulations), processing large data sets (e.g., gravitational wave, cosmological, multi-wavelength and multi-messenger data sets), and statistical, uncertainty quantification, and Bayesian analyses. The hire forms part of Washington University's Digital Transformation initiative, in which 14 faculty members are hired in departments across the schools of Arts & Sciences (https://bit.ly/artscidigital). The ability and willingness to collaborate with colleagues across traditional discipline boundaries will be considered as a strength of the application. Furthermore, a joint appointment with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (https://math.wustl.edu) can be considered if appropriate. The faculty hire will be a member of the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences (https://mcss.wustl.edu). The successful candidate will conduct an independent research program, teach typically one class per semester, and advise undergraduate and graduate students. The appointment can begin as soon as Fall 2021.
Washington University in St. Louis is an equal opportunity affirmative action employer, and especially encourages applications by those underrepresented in their academic fields. It is the University's policy to recruit, hire, train, and promote persons in all job titles without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, or genetic information.
Applications should apply via https://apply.interfolio.com/83721 and submit a cover letter, a CV, a list of publications including a description of the candidate's contributions to the five most significant ones, a statement of research interests and plans (up to three pages), a statement of teaching interests and philosophy (up to two pages), a diversity statement detailing the track record and plans of the candidate for promoting diversity and inclusion in STEM (up to two pages), and the names and contact information of three professional references. Applications received by March 15, 2021, will receive full consideration. Consideration after that date will be at the discretion of the search committee. For additional information please contact Professor Krawczynski, krawcz@wustl.edu.
Each year Washington University publishes a Safety and Security brochure that details what to do and whom to contact in an emergency. This report also publishes the federally required annual security and fire safety reports, containing campus crime and fire statistics as well as key university policies and procedures.

Two Postdoctoral Positions at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the Space Science and Applications Group
Postdoctoral Position in the Low-Energy Nuclear Physics Research (LER) Group at Argonne National Laboratory
03 February 2021
The Low-Energy Nuclear Physics Research Group (LER) of the Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory seeks outstanding individuals to fill an open postdoctoral position within the group. LER performs world-leading research in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental symmetries and nuclear data as well as managing and operating world-class detector systems as part of the ATLAS accelerator facility, a DOE supported national user facility for low-energy nuclear physics research. ATLAS has recently been upgraded and provides world-unique rare isotope beams from either the CARIBU (Californium Rare Ion Breeder Upgrade) source or our new in-flight production facility. In addition, members of the group are also planning experimental programs at the Facility for Rare Isotopes (FRIB).
The successful candidates must have:
• Recently received or near completion of his/her Ph.D. in nuclear physics or related discipline within the last 3 years
• Experience at conceiving and executing experimental research projects and reporting the results
• Strong background in the area of nuclear structure, nuclear reactions, nuclear astrophysics or fundamental symmetries
• Experience with computer programming and data analysis.
Additional information on the activities of the Group and the Division can be found at https://www.anl.gov/phy. The Argonne Physics Division has programs in low energy and medium energy nuclear physics, nuclear theory, nuclear data, accelerator R&D and operates the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics National User Facility, the Argonne Tandem-Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS).
The appointment will be for two years, with the possibility of an extension for up to 3 years depending on funding and performance. Interested applicants should apply at https://www.anl.gov/hr/external-applicants and specify requisition #409298. In addition, please forward your CV and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to Dr. Michael P. Carpenter (carpenter@anl.gov). Review of applicants will begin February 15, 2021 and the position will remain open until filled.
