UNIVERSITY LECTURESHIP IN THEORETICAL HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS – CAVENDISH LABORATORY 

Salary: £36,715-£46,510 pa

Applications are invited for a University Lectureship in Theoretical High Energy Physics to commence on 1 October 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter. Appointment will be made at an appropriate point on the scale for University Lecturers and will be for a probationary period of five years with appointment to the retiring age thereafter, subject to satisfactory performance.

The lectureship will be based in the Department of Physics as part of the High Energy Physics group in the Cavendish Laboratory. The appointment will consolidate the recent expansion of the group, and is intended to strengthen the group’s existing international reputation in particle physics phenomenology (http://www.hep.phy.cam.ac.uk/theory/). The successful candidate will have a world-class research record in phenomenology and will be expected to work closely with the Cavendish Laboratory’s experimental High Energy Physics group, currently involved in the ATLAS, LHCb and MINOS experiments. The post is part of the Extreme Universe strategic theme of the School of the Physical Sciences, building on existing strengths and collaboration between the Department of Physics, the Institute of Astronomy and DAMTP. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to teaching and other academic activities in the Cavendish.

Informal enquiries about the post may be addressed to Professor Bryan Webber (brw1@cam.ac.uk) or Professor James Stirling (wjs2@cam.ac.uk) and further information about the Department may be found at http://www.phy.cam.ac.uk. Further information is available from the School of the Physical Sciences (ast22@admin.cam.ac.uk) to where applications should be sent consisting of a full curriculum vitae, list of publications, a statement (up to 6 pages) of research interests and future plans, and the names and contact details of three academic referees. Applications should be accompanied by a completed form PD18 Parts I and III (http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/personnel/forms/pd18) and should reach the School no later than the 22 April 2010.
