The Department of Applied Mathematics (www.apmaths.uwo.ca) invites applications for a probationary (tenure track) faculty position in the area of theoretical physics at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The successful candidate will also be appointed as an Associate Faculty member of the Perimeter Institute (www.perimeterinstitute.ca). Areas of interest to the Department and to the Perimeter Institute include condensed matter physics, astrophysics, cosmology, gravitational physics and particle physics. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Physics or Applied Mathematics and at least one-year's postdoctoral experience (or equivalent). The successful candidate will be expected to develop an independent, externally funded research program in an area of theoretical physics, and contribute to the graduate and undergraduate degree programs in the Department of Applied Mathematics. The Department of Applied Mathematics and the Faculty of Science provide a research- intensive environment, including state-of-the-art computational facilities (www.sharcnet.ca). An important goal for this position is the further integration of research activities at Western University and the Perimeter Institute, and the successful candidate will be expected to spend significant amounts of time in both locations.

Consideration of applications will begin on March 12, 2012 and continue until the position is filled. The starting date for the position is July 1, 2012. Applications must include a curriculum vita, a research plan, a teaching statement, and the names of three references. Applications will be reviewed by a search committee containing members from Western University and from the Perimeter Institute. Applications should be submitted, preferably electronically, to Prof. David Jeffrey, Chair, Department of Applied Mathematics, Western University, London, Ontario, N6A 5B7
Email: apmaths-chair@uwo.ca.

This position is subject to budgetary approval. Applicants should have fluent written and oral communication skills in English. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Western University is committed to employment equity and welcomes applications from all qualified women and men including visible minorities, aboriginal people and persons with disabilities.
