Subject: U. Regina Asst. Prof./CRC   in Computational Astrophysics or
    Computer Modeling in the Natural  Sciences

                     University of Regina
          Assistant Professor / Canada Research Chair
in Computational Astrophysics or Computer Modeling in the Natural Sciences

The Department of Physics at the University of Regina invites applications
from outstanding scientists for a Tier II Canada Research Chair as part of a
Faculty of Science competition.  In particular, researchers in theoretical
cosmology/astrophysics are invited to apply under the category of
"Computational Astrophysics" and researchers in lattice field theory are
invited to apply under the category of "Computer Modeling in the Natural
Sciences".

The present research interests of the Department include theoretical
particle physics, astro-particle physics, lattice field theory and
experimental subatomic physics.  The Department has made a commitment of
strengthening and broadening both aspects of our theoretical research effort
and this competition is the first step toward this goal.

The CRC Tier II positions, funded by the Federal Government, are prestigious
appointments and are addressed to exceptional candidates in selected areas
the respective universities have identified as areas of research strength
and growth.  Subatomic Physics is one such area in the University of Regina.
The Physics Department has received substantial CFI (Canada Foundation for
Innovation) grants in support of subatomic physics research and has already
filled another CRC Tier II position. As such, the Physics Department is well
placed to further build upon these successes with additional CRC Tier II
positions.

The successful candidate will join the Physics Department as a tenure-track
assistant professor beginning on July 1st, 2004 and will be nominated for
the CRC Tier II position by the University.  The successful nominee will be
provided with salary and a research grant by the CRC foundation, will have
reduced teaching load within the department and will be given priority of
funding by CFI in the application that will accompany the CRC application.
Therefore, the successful nominee will have significantly more start up
funds for research than regular appointments and he/she is also expected to
apply to NSERC for additional research support.

Each applicant must have obtained a Ph.D. degree within the last two to six
years and have a strong record of research accomplishments that has the
potential to establish leadership in the field within the next five to ten
years.  Applications should include a curriculum vitae, publication list,
statement of current research and discussion of future plans. Candidates
should also arrange for at least three letters of recommendation to be sent
separately. All correspondence should be directed to

      Dr. K. Bergman, Dean,
      Faculty of Science,
      University of Regina,
      Regina, SK S4S 0A2,
      Canada

by November 30, 2003.

Canada Research Chairs are open to exceptional candidates of all
nationalities.
