PROFESSORSHIP OF EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS

Applications are invited for the above post, tenable from 1 October 2003, or such later date as may be arranged. A non-stipendiary Fellowship at Balliol College is attached to the Professorship. The post will be in the Sub-department of Particle Physics, within the Department of Physics. The Professor will be required to deliver lectures and give instruction in Physics, and to undertake original work and the general supervision of research and advanced work in his/her subject. The successful candidate will have an international reputation in scholarship and research, and will be expected to contribute through personal research endeavour and through leadership, to maintaining a programme of research and teaching at the highest level in experimental particle physics at Oxford, and to exercise leadership in the subject in the UK.

The Sub-department of Particle Physics has a wide research programme covering experiments at accelerators and in particle astrophysics. This includes preparations for the ATLAS, LHCb, and MINOS experiments. CDF is taking data at the Tevatron, ZEUS is running with an upgraded detector at HERA II, and analysis of DELPHI data is being completed. The Sub-department is engaged in R&D for a neutrino factory, including the HARP experiment to measure hadron production rates and the MICE experiment to demonstrate muon cooling. It is also participating in the LCFI collaboration to develop new CCDs for a vertex detector for the next linear collider, as well as schemes for collider beam alignment. The SNO solar neutrino detector is taking data and results of the first phase have recently been announced. The CRESST collaboration is preparing its second phase search for dark matter. The Sub-department is engaged in all aspects of particle physics projects, from design through to final physics analysis. An important part of its programme consists of major responsibilities in hardware development carried out with the help of its excellent support staff in computing, electronics, and mechanical design and construction.

Further particulars, including details of how to apply, are available at http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/ or from the Registrar, University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JD (tel. 01865 270200). The closing date for applications is 17 March 2003.

UNIVERSITY LECTURERSHIP IN THE HISTORY OF ART
