The Physics Department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is seeking to make junior faculty appointments in high-energy/nuclear theory. Candidates will be considered who are doing research at energy scales from QCD through the standard model to the Planck scale, including those working at the interfaces with cosmology and astrophysics and those working on physics relevant for the LHC. Candidates will be evaluated on the basis of potential contribution to both the research programs carried out in the Center for Theoretical Physics, and to the undergraduate and graduate teaching programs of the Department of Physics. Current faculty in the Center for Theoretical Physics span a broad range of interests, including QCD, electroweak physics, unification, cosmology, and string theory.

Faculty members at MIT teach undergraduate and graduate physics courses, serve as mentors and advisors, and oversee students' research projects. Candidates must show promise in teaching as well as in research. Preference will be given to applicants at the Assistant Professor level. Applicants should submit by regular mail a curriculum vitae (include email address), a publications list, a brief description of research interests and goals, and should have at least three letters of reference sent directly to:

  Professor Washington Taylor
  Center for Theoretical Physics, 6-317
  77 Massachusetts Avenue
  Cambridge, MA
  02139-4307

The deadline for applications is November 12, 2007. MIT is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
