[This posting includes three separate positions, one faculty (theory)
and two post-doctoral (experimental); see below.]
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
THEORETICAL NUCLEAR PHYSICS
THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
The Department of Physics of The George Washington University has
an opening for an Assistant Professor in Theoretical Nuclear
Physics starting September 1, 1998. This tenure-track faculty
position is supported, in part, by the Thomas Jefferson National
Accelerator Facility (JLab). The successful applicant will have
several years of experience in theoretical nuclear physics beyond
the Ph.D. degree and will be creative and innovative in both
research and teaching. The holder of this position will be
associated with the GW Center for Nuclear Studies and will play
an important role in our program of research at Jefferson Lab. He
or she will be expected to spend about half of his or her effort
on the physics related to the JLab N* program in general and
provide support, in particular, for the interpretation of the
data soon to be coming out of the CEBAF Large-Acceptance
Spectrometer (CLAS) in JLab's Hall B. In time, this person will
be expected to lead his or her own research effort in Jefferson
Lab-related physics. Prior experience in theoretical medium- and
high-energy nuclear physics, electromagnetic interactions in
hadronic systems, and/or few-body nuclear physics is essential.
Each applicant should send a curriculum vitae and a one-page
statement of his or her research/career goals, and have three
letters of reference sent to

Review of applications will begin on February 2, 1998 and will
continue until the position is filled.

POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
EXPERIMENTAL NUCLEAR PHYSICS
THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
The Department of Physics of The George Washington University has
an opening for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Experimental
Nuclear Physics starting March 1, 1998. The experimental group at
GWU consists of four regular faculty, one research faculty, one
post-doc and six graduate students. There is also strong
theoretical support in the Department, including six nuclear
theorists. The current position will involve participation in the
group's experiments using tagged photons in Hall B at the Thomas
Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) and at the
Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory (SAL).
At SAL, the work includes Compton scattering from deuterium and
low-energy photodisintegration of 3H and 3He. At Jefferson Lab the
work includes pion photoproduction from the proton, photoreactions
on 3He and development of polarized photon beams using coherent
bremsstrahlung. The latter development project is the result of
recently approved funding from DOE and NSF and will also involve
the design, fabrication and testing of a photon polarimeter. It
is expected that the successful candidate will contribute in a
major way to these experimental efforts and will also be
encouraged to help develop future experimental proposals.
Applications are invited from candidates with a Ph.D. in
experimental nuclear physics, preferably with experience in
electromagnetic nuclear physics using photons or electrons. The
initial appointment will be for one year, with the expectation of
renewal for two additional one-year terms, subject to mutual
agreement. Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum
vitae, publication list, statement of research experience and
interests, and three letters of reference sent directly to:
Professor Gerald Feldman
Department of Physics
The George Washington University

Email: feldman@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu
Questions about the position are welcome and can be sent by
e-mail to the address listed above. Review of completed
applications will begin on January 12, 1998 and will continue
until the position is filled.

POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
EXPERIMENTAL NUCLEAR PHYSICS
THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
The Department of Physics of The George Washington University has
an opening for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Experimental
Nuclear Physics for a two-year term, starting September 1, 1998.
This position is to be shared with the Jefferson Lab, and we seek
a person who will be concerned with our experimental program in
Hall B at the Laboratory. This program mainly involves
experiments with tagged-photon beams, both unpolarized and
polarized. The primary experimental skills necessary for this
position are expertise in data acquisition and data analysis, but
experience with nuclear particle and radiation detectors is also
very valuable. This position is intended for a person having a
Ph.D. degree in medium-energy nuclear physics, electromagnetic
interactions, and/or few-body nuclei.
Each applicant should send a curriculum vitae and a one-page
statement of his or her research/career goals, and have three
letters of reference sent to
