TWO POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS
RELATIVISTIC HEAVY ION PHYSICS
UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, invites candidates to apply for two Postdoctoral Research Associate positions with the Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics group. Our group is working both on the ALICE experiment at the  LHC and on the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. Within ALICE our main responsibilities are focused on the Electromagnetic Calorimeter, whereas at PHENIX we are primarily working with the Muon Arm Detector. We also have a very close collaboration with the High Energy Reactions Group at ORNL, and we expect our postdocs will spend substantial time at ORNL.   We expect that one post doc will focus primarily on the ALICE experiment and the other on the PHENIX experiment. The successful candidates will be expected to mentor graduate students and to travel extensively to CERN and/or BNL. The successful candidates are required to have a Ph.D. in physics with experience in nuclear or high energy physics.

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a publication list, a brief research statement, and should arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to Prof. Soren Sorensen, 401 Nielsen Physics Building, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996-1200 (preferably via email to sorensen@utk.edu).

We assume the successful candidates will start in the positions in the time period August 1, 2012 – January 1, 2013. The University of Tennessee is an EEO/AA/Title VI/Title IX/Section 504/ADA/ADEA institution in the provision of its education and employment programs and services.

Please note that candidatures will be examined until mid of May even though end of April is mentionned in the PDF.

Dear colleagues,

The “Jardin de Capucine”, a new childcare facility exclusively built for CERN personnel, has opened its doors on 1 November 2011.

Very conveniently located at only a few hundred meters from CERN entrance E, it offers childcare facilities from children from 4 months up to 4 years of age.

CERN Management has specifically earmarked 4 places (of the 40 available) for short term child care.

Short term should be understood as either a period of one week to up to 3 months, either shorter periods but at regular intervals. Turn-over on these places is expected to be high, especially if the duration is short.

These 4 places are made available as from now and can be booked in advance for any period in 2012 by contacting directly the crèche. Places will be allocated on a first come/first served basis.

After 1 year of experience, an evaluation will be made and the number of short term places will be increased or decreased to adapt to the need.

It is therefore important that the information is spread to the community of associated members of personnel as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Any ideas/feedback is welcome.

Being in contact with people coming to CERN for short periods, we ask you to help us spread the info on this opportunity to the CERN Users’ community.
