FACULTY POSITION IN ACCELERATOR MASS SPECTROMETRY/COSMOGENIC NUCLIDES
The Departments of Physics and Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Purdue University seek applications for a faculty position in experimental Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) or the application of cosmogenic nuclides. This position would be associated with the Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement Laboratory (PRIME Lab). This is a national facility which supports researchers from Purdue and from around the world in studies of cosmogenic nuclides and biomedical applications of rare isotopes. The successful candidate is expected to have a scientific program that utilizes AMS. Expertise in developing AMS techniques would also be valuable but is not essential.
The level of the position will depend on the candidate’s experience. The home department will be in either Physics, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, or a joint appointment in these two departments, depending on the candidate’s research program. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in an AMS related field, an outstanding record of research accomplishments, and evidence of potential excellence in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Salary and benefits are highly competitive. Candidates are expected to develop vigorous research programs, supervise graduate students, and to teach undergraduate and graduate courses. Interested candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, publication list, and brief descriptions of their planned research program and teaching philosophy. Electronic submission is preferred: https://hiring.science.purdue.edu/hiring/login . At least three letters of recommendation should be sent to AMS Search, Department of Physics, Purdue University, 525 Northwestern Ave., West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-2036, USA. Applications completed by January 15, 2009 will be given full consideration, although the search will continue until the position is filled.

Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Nanophysics and Devices of Graphene
A full-time postdoctoral research position in the area of experimental nanophysics and devices is available immediately in Prof. Yong P. Chen's group, Quantum Matter and Devices Laboratory (www.physics.purdue.edu/quantum) affiliated with Birck Nanotechnology Center (www.nano.purdue.edu) and Department of Physics (www.physics.purdue.edu) at Purdue University.
Research for this postdoctoral position focuses on experimental studies on graphene (2D carbon), a novel material that holds enormous potential for both new physics involving "relativistic" quasiparticles in condensed matter systems and for applications in nanoelectronics or nanosensors. More detailed descriptions on available research projects can be found in www.physics.purdue.edu/quantum/research#graphene
The successful candidate will work closely with the PI in leading research projects and teams consisting of graduate and undergraduate students. Research projets will utilize the state-of-the-art facilities available at the Birck Nanotechnology Center (http://www.purdue.edu/dp/Nanotechnology/facilities/equipment-list.php). There will also be opportunities to collaborate with other faculty and staff in various departments in the colleges of science and engineering and Birck Nanotechnology Center in a multi-disciplinary environment. The position is partially funded by both National Science Foundation and the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), a consortium of major semiconductor companies. Appointment will be initially made for one year and can be renewed for up to two more years. Career development assistance will be provided.
Requirements:
Recent/upcoming PhDs in experimental science or engineering with good background in solid state physics, devices or material science, and strong experimental skills in nano-fabrication including e-beam lithography.
Interested candidates should send a CV listing publications, research experiences, skills and interests, and contact information for 3 referees to yongchen@purdue.edu. Applications are reviewed as received till the position is filled. The starting date for this position can be Fall 2008 or Spring 2009.
