Research positions at the Univeristy of Colima (Mexico)

México Colima

The Physics and Mathematics Department at the University of Colima is offering two positions in experimental high energy physics at the “intensity frontier”. Both openings are at the level of "Profesor Titular A” (equivalent to the US assistant professor level) and are scheduled to begin in August 2016.

We are looking for young and talented individuals with a strong desire to contribute to society through the development of science. We are looking for pioneers: Opportunity to build – from scratch – an experimental group at a small and productive university in CLOSE collaboration with an international laboratory.
