                  TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITION
                 WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE

A tenure-track faculty position (rank open) in condensed matter physics, 
optical physics or in physics pedagogy is available in the WPI Physics 
Department as of August 1993.  The successful candidate is expected to 
establish an externally funded research program that complements ongoing 
WPI research or that addresses the teaching of physics.  Ongoing 
research includes experimental areas 1) Brillouin scattering and 
semiconductor superlattice spectroscopy (D. F. Nelson); 2) photon 
correlation spectroscopy and complex fluids (G. D. J. Phillies); fiber 
optics and optical properties of impurity ions in solids (R. S. Quimby); 
and theoretical areas 1) quantum optics of squeezed states (P. K. 
Aravind); 2) quantum statistical mechanics of glassy materials (M. W. 
Klein): 3) linear and nonlinear optical properties of quantum 
semiconductor heterostructures (L. R. Ram-Mohan).  Postdoctoral research 
and teaching experience will be valued.  Candidates are expected to have 
a supporting record of research publication.  WPI has a tradition of 
excellence in project-based undergraduate education: thus, candidates 
must be committed to undergraduate research projects as well as to 
undergraduate and graduate teaching.  Applicants should send a c.v., 
publication list, and letter describing teaching interests and research 
plans at WPI.  Also, they should arrange for three letters of 
recommendation, one or more addressing teaching as well as research 
credentials, to be sent to S. N.  Jasperson, Head, Department of 
Physics, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA 01609.  All 
materials are due by January 8, 1993.  EOE/AA.  Women, minorities and 
others are encouraged to apply.
