UNIVERSITY LECTURER IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS

The Department of Physics proposes to appoint a University Lecturer in Theoretical Physics with research interests in the area of elementary particle theory, with effect from 1 October 2004 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidate will be offered a Tutorial Fellowship by Balliol College, under arrangements described in the further particulars. The combined University and College salary will be according to age on a scale up to £42,900 (pay award pending).

The research interests of candidates should overlap those of the Particle Theory Group, with some preference for the general area of string theory or non-perturbative quantum field theory. The successful candidate will be expected to participate actively in undergraduate and graduate teaching, research and relevant administration.

Further particulars of the post are available. Applicants should submit nine copies (one in the case of applicants based overseas) of a letter of application supported by a curriculum vitae and statement of research interests, together with the names of three referees (not more than two from the same institution). The application should be sent to Professor Sherrington at the above address to arrive no later than 2 April 2004. Referees should be asked to send their references (by post or e-mail) directly to Professor Sherrington by 2 April 2004.
