The preferred start date is August 16, 2015. Qualified candidates in any area of theoretical, computational, or observational plasma physics are encouraged to apply. The following research areas would complement existing experimental and theory strengths within the department: (1) low temperature plasma physics theory/simulation; (2) space or solar plasma physics theory/simulation or observation; (3) plasma medicine; and (4) high energy density physics theory/simulation. Minimum requirements are a Ph.D., or equivalent, in physics or a related field with a commitment and ability to lead an independent research program and to excel in teaching physics courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The successful candidate will present a strong record of research productivity as evidenced by publication record and scientific collaborations and the potential to develop an externally funded, nationally competitive, research program.</span><span> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; ">The WVU plasma physics program includes four Professors and three Research Professors. The research areas emphasized in the WVU Department of Physics and Astronomy (<a href="http://physics.wvu.edu/"><span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Times; text-decoration: underline; ">http://physics.wvu.edu</span></a>) are astrophysics, condensed matter physics, physics education, and plasma physics. The department moved into a new facility with state-of-the-art research laboratories in 2012. On-campus shared computational facilities are available and WVU is on the Internet 2 high-speed backbone.</span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 15px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; "></span><br></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">To apply, send (1) a cover letter addressed to the Plasma Physics Search Committee, (2) a curriculum vitae including a complete list of publications and relevant teaching experience, (3) a research plan for the next five years including an estimate of start-up costs, and (4) a statement of teaching philosophy and experience.
