The Experimental Nuclear Physics Research Group at the University of the West of Scotland has internationally recognized research programmes studying the structure and properties of exotic nuclei and in laser-induced nuclear physics (http://nuclear.paisley.ac.uk). We were one of the founding members of the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance, SUPA, the pioneering research pooling initiative in physics in Scotland. Along with other Scottish universities in SUPAII, we are presently developing SCAPA - the Scottish Centre for Plasma Based Accelerators, an innovative new facility in which we will carry out research in fundamental and applied nuclear physics and related areas. We are presently seeking to strengthen the group in this area with the appointment of two new permanent academic staff members.

Post holders will be based at the Paisley Campus, and will contribute effectively to research, to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and to academic administration

Applicants will have a strong research track record in experimental nuclear physics plus a strong publication record, and will be able to apply their expertise to the development and exploitation of SCAPA. The level of appointment will depend on experience, and applicants for post of Reader should be able to show evidence of successful grant income and of leadership.

Recruitment packs are available from the HR Department telephone on (44) 0141 848 3561 (24-hour answering service) or by email from Marie.Leckie@uws.ac.uk quoting Reference 11/087 - Lecturer; 11/088 - Reader.
