1. STAR Technical Support Group - led by Ralph Brown
   

   The people in the group are Ralph Brown, Tony Krupien, Craig Consiglio, John Scheblein, Alexei Lebedev, a tech from C-AD (paid for 3/4 by us), and an admin person (this is a new hire, which is ongoing now). These people all used to be in the RHIC Department; since the RHIC Department is no more, they are now in the Physics Department.

2. STAR Detector Support Group - led by Bill Christie
   

   The group has in it the subsystem managers for components of the STAR Detector which have been delivered and are operating as part of the year-1 STAR Detector.

                     CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY
         Postdoctoral Position in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
       ______________________________________________________________

   The Nuclear Heavy Ion Group at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has an
immediate opening for an experimental postdoctoral researcher. The group
is actively involved with the Trigger subsystem for the STAR Detector at
RHIC, as well as participating in several STAR physics analysis working
groups. The successful candidate will be expected to be in full-time
residence at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and to participate in all
aspects of the CMU group's research program. With the initial STAR physics
run beginning later this year, the major activities will involve operation
and continued development of the STAR trigger system and analysis of STAR
data within the framework of the STAR spectra and strangeness physics 
working groups. Specific physics emphasis has some flexibility, depending
on the candidate's experience and interests. Outstanding computational
resources are available at CMU as well as at BNL. The initial appointment
will be for one year, with the expectation (assuming mutual agreement) for
renewal well into the STAR/RHIC running time frame.

   Candidates are invited to contact Professor Morton Kaplan as soon as
possible by e-mail or snail-mail (addresses below). To expedite the full
consideration of applicants, please arrange for your CV, statement of 
research interests, and three letters of recommendation to be sent directly 
to:

              FACULTY POSITION IN EXPERIMENTAL
                  NUCLEAR/PARTICLE PHYSICS
                     INDIANA UNIVERSITY


Applications are invited for a junior tenure-track faculty position
in the Physics Department of Indiana University to start in Fall 2000.  
We seek outstanding candidates with demonstrated leadership potential 
in forefront experimental research at the interface of nuclear and 
particle physics.  Indiana physicists are currently playing major 
roles in developing programs to study nucleon spin structure with 
polarized proton beams at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, hadron 
spectroscopy with photon beams (Hall D) at the Thomas Jefferson 
National Accelerator Facility, and fundamental symmetry tests with 
low-energy neutron beams at the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center 
and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.  More information
concerning these programs and the Physics Department can be accessed on
the web at http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/facpos/.  A new faculty 
member will be expected either to markedly enhance the efforts in one of 
these areas or to help establish a viable new research program in an 
interface area of comparable impact.  The successful candidate should
also have demonstrated ability and desire to teach physics at the
undergraduate and graduate levels.  Each applicant should submit a
curriculum vitae, a description of research interests and accomplishments,
and a list of publications, and arrange for three letters of
reference to be sent independently to:  Faculty Search Committee, c/o
Professor Alan Kostelecky, Chair, Department of Physics, Swain Hall
West 117, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, U.S.A.  Applications
received before February 1, 2000 may receive preference.  Indiana University 
is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.


    

                   LBNL - postdoc

The LBNL relativistic nuclear collisions group is looking for a
postdoc, to start this spring, to work on commissioning and data
analysis from the STAR detector at RHIC.  STAR expects to take it's
first data this year, so the timing is excellent.

The successful candidate will work with Spencer Klein on peripheral
collisions of
heavy ions.  He or she will replace Joakim Nystrand, who is returning
to Sweden to take a staff position.  The group is studying coherent
interactions of nuclei, such as two-photon physics and photonuclear
interactions.  Specific topics include strong field QED (single and
multiple e^+e^- pair production), vector meson production (Pomeron
physics and vector meson-nucleon cross sections), interference and
multiple vector meson production (meson interferometry) and meson
spectroscopy (searches for exotica such as glueballs, meson properties
and decays).  Because of the strong fields accompanying heavy ions,
the rates for these processes are high.  This is a completely new
field, with lots of opportunity for innovation.

Candidates should have a PhD in experimental particle or nuclear
physics or a related field.  Strong computer skills are a major plus,
as is some hardware experience.

Anyone interested in peripheral collisions should contact Spencer
Klein at SRKLEIN@LBL.GOV or (510)486-5470.

  Five Year Fellowship in Experimental High Energy Nuclear Physics

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory^ñs Nuclear Science Division is
seeking a person with outstanding promise and creative ability in the field
of experimental high energy nuclear physics. The appointment will be as
Divisional Fellow for a term of five years with the expectation of
promotion to Senior Scientist, upon successful review. The successful
candidate will have several years of experience beyond the Ph.D. in nuclear
or particle physics and is expected to assume a leadership role in the
Relativistic Nuclear Collisions (RNC) Program at LBNL.

The RNC group has a leading role in the STAR experiment at the Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory.  The group
currently has a strong physics program in nucleus-nucleus collisions at
RHIC. Candidates having an interest in all aspects of RHIC physics,
including spin, are encouraged to apply.

Applicants are requested to e-mail (our preferred method)  curriculum
vitae, list of publications, statement of research interests, and the names
of at least four references, no later than May 31, 2000 to:
HGRitter@lbl.gov. Please reference job number NS 011700.  You can also

                        LBNL - postdoc

The Relativistic Nuclear Collisions Program (RNC) of the Nuclear Science
Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is seeking outstanding
candidates to fill a postdoc position for the spring of 2000. The RNC
Program plays a lead role in the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy
Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL. Candidates having interests in all aspects of
heavy ion physics at RHIC are invited to apply. We are especially seeking
to expand our efforts in the areas of high pT physics and heavy flavor
production. In STAR, RNC has major responsibilities for the central TPC
detector, TPC electronics, and related software. We also have strong
detector R&D programs and we are beginning to exploit the National Energy
Research Supercomputing Center at LBNL which provides a valuable computing
resource to the Nuclear and High Energy Physics communities.

This is a two-year term appointment with the possibility of renewal.
Interested candidates should have obtained a Ph.D. in nuclear or high
energy physics within the last three years.

To apply, please send a CV, a list of publications and the names of three
references via email (our preferred method) to: HGRitter@lbl.gov.
