The Florida State University Physics Department is seeking applicants for a tenure track Assistant Professor position in experimental high energy physics to enhance our collider physics program with the CMS experiment. The successful applicant is expected to take a leadership role with one or more projects within the CMS collaboration and initiate a substantial physics research program. Our group has extensive experience in searches for new physics and Higgs, top quark, QCD, and electroweak physics. We are committed to working on the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) and the Phase 2 detector upgrade. We seek someone who will expand our current efforts.

More information about the FSU high energy physics group is available at http://www.hep.fsu.edu/. There is a strong connection between the experimental and theoretical members of the group with a long history of collaborative efforts. The FSU physics department has excellent programs in particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, and astrophysics. We have access to a high quality machine shop and an electronics lab to facilitate detector development. There are strong connections between the department and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory located just south of campus.

The starting date for this position is expected to be the beginning of the Fall semester of 2016.

Applicants should send a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, and a research plan, as well as arrange for three to six letters of recommendation to be sent to: hepsearch@hep.fsu.edu. Review of applications will start November 23, 2015 and continue until the position is filled. Florida State University has a diverse student body and is committed to a faculty that reflects this. Florida State University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer, and it especially encourages applications from women and members of minority groups.
