Executive Director
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
SEPnet is a consortium of six partner Physics Departments at the
Universities of Kent, Queen Mary, Royal Holloway, Southampton,
Surrey and Sussex, working together with the common objective
of advancing and protecting Physics as a strategically important
subject in the UK. The consortium is governed by a board of senior
representatives from the partner universities, with a part-time
independent Chair, Professor, Sir William Wakeham. The Chair will
represent the consortium in dealing with HEFCE, Research Councils,
education authorities and regional organisations such as SEEDA and
GOSE at a strategic level.
Responsible for executive management of the SEPnet consortium, you
will play a major part in implementing the agenda for the development
of Physics in the six HEIs, in the region and nationally; liaise at national
and international level with the principal stakeholders; and take the
lead in allocating the consortium’s discretionary resources to achieve
its goals. Responsible to Professor, Sir William Wakeham, you will
co-ordinate the steering groups which will manage the operations
of the partnership, and also be responsible for the work of the nonacademic staff holding posts to carry out joint functions for SEPnet
including outreach and employer engagement.
Essentially you will be educated to higher degree level in a physical
science and be experienced in holding budgetary responsibility.
Located at one of the campuses of the six partner Universities or at
the Science and Innovation Campus at Harwell, you will be expected
to travel frequently to London, the six partner universities and other
organisations relevant to SEPnet activities.

POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP or RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
in Condensed Matter Physics
Physics Department : University of Johannesburg,
Auckland Park Campus, South Africa
A contractual position is available for up to 5 years to a skilled and motivated
experimental researcher in the physics of strongly correlated electrons, rare-earth
magnetism, or thermoelectric properties of correlated systems. A completed Doctorate
in experimental physics is required. Ample opportunities exist for initiating new projects,
as well as to participate in established projects of the students and members of our
group. Facilities available include argon-arc, induction, and tubular synthesis furnaces, and a
variety of materials characterization methods. Measurements capabilities within the group
include a broad range of physical properties such as electronic and thermal transport,
specific heat, and SQUID-magnetometry.
Date of commencement: As soon as possible.

Faculty Position in Theoretical Condensed
Matter Physics, Rice University
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University
invites applications for at least one tenure-track faculty position
in theoretical condensed matter physics. This search is expected
to be at the Assistant Professor level, but consideration of an
appointment at a more senior level may be made in exceptional
cases. The position has an emphasis on fundamental theory, and
will complement and extend existing theoretical and experimental
activities in condensed matter physics (for information on these,
see http://physics.rice.edu/). Applicants should send a dossier that
includes a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching
interests, a list of publications, and two or three selected reprints,
and arrange for at least three letters of recommendation to be sent
to: Prof. Q. Si, Chair, Condensed Matter Search Committee, Dept.
of Physics and Astronomy – MS 61, Rice University, 6100 Main
Street, Houston, TX 77005, or by email to vcall@rice.edu with
subject line “CMT Search”. Applications will be accepted until the
position is filled, but only those received by November 15, 2009
will be assured full consideration. The appointment is expected to
start in July, 2010. Rice University is an affirmative action/equal
opportunity employer; women and underrepresented minorities
are strongly encouraged to apply.
