JRM Logo Job Opportunities

 
There are currently three openings in the JRM Lab: one in our experimental group. and two in the theoretical group. We are always seeking new graduate students interested in either experimental or theoretical AMO physics.
 

 
Assistant Professor
Kansas State University
Experimental Ultrafast AMO Physics
The J. R. Macdonald Laboratory (JRML) in the Department of Physics at Kansas State University seeks a faculty member in the area of experimental AMO Ultrafast Laser Science. Interest in Attosecond Physics, Coherent Control, or other areas that match the JRML research effort will be considered favorably. The successful candidate will be appointed at the rank of tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Physics Department. Candidates must present credentials which will justify appointment at this level, including a Ph.D. in AMO Physics or related discipline.

The Department has outstanding experimental and theoretical AMO physics programs, directed by 11 faculty members. It has extensive laser and accelerator facilities in the James R. Macdonald Laboratory. These facilities are being used to address an array of unique problems in AMO science.

The successful candidate should also demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring of students and to serving a diverse population.

Applications should be sent, to:

JRML Search Committee
116 Cardwell Hall
Kansas State University
Manhattan, KS 66506-2601

Research Associate Position
Theoretical Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics
Kansas State University
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate position in theoretical atomic, optical, and surface physics A preferred starting date is between March and June 2008. The selected candidate must hold a Ph.D. in Physics and is expected to vigorously participate in ongoing and emerging research projects, including interactions of atoms, ions, and intense, ultra-fast laser pulses with surfaces, clusters, and nano structures, using state-of-the-art methods in computational quantum dynamics. Applicants should have a strong background in theoretical atomic or surface physics and in large-scale computing. The KSU Physics Department and associated J.R. Macdonald Laboratory have a strong AMO physics program that targets new and exciting frontiers in ion- and laser-interactions with matter and was recently ranked as one of the top 14 in the US. Send your letter of application, curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to:
Prof. Uwe Thumm
Department of Physics
Kansas State University
Manhattan, KS 66506-2601
Screening of applications will begin 15 March 2008 and continue until this position is filled.
