Ultracold Atom News

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University invites applications for two anticipated tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in theoretical physics. One of the positions is in condensed matter physics, with emphasis on fundamental theory, while the other is in ultra-cold atom physics, with a focus on connections to condensed matter. These positions will complement and extend our existing experimental and theoretical strengths in condensed matter and ultra-cold atom physics (for information on the existing efforts, see http://physics.rice.edu/).

Applicants should send a dossier that includes a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, a list of publications, and two or three selected reprints, and arrange for at least three letters of recommendation to be sent to

R. G. Hulet or Q. Si, Co-Chairs,

or by email to vcall@rice.edu.

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled, but only those received by November 15 will be assured full consideration. The appointments are expected to start in July, 2009.
