The University of Delaware invites applications for a position in computational science at the rank of tenure-track assistant professor or tenured associate professor, to begin in fall 2010. Outstanding candidates from all areas of computational science are encouraged to apply, but preference will be given to those with research specializations in multiscale phenomena, stochastic methods, or biomedical imaging. The successful candidate may receive appointments in multiple academic departments or units at the university.

November 2, 2009 - An international collaboration that includes Assistant Professor Jamie Holder from the University of Delaware's Bartol Research Institute in the Department of Physics and Astronomy has discovered very-high-energy gamma rays in the Cigar Galaxy (M82), a bright galaxy filled with exploding stars 12 million light years from Earth.

The University of Delaware’s Department of Physics & Astronomy/Bartol Research Institute (BRI) invites applications for one or two postdoctoral positions in particle theory/cosmology/ astroparticle physics which may become available in Fall 2010, contingent upon DOE funding/availability of funds.

Members of the theory group include S.M. Barr, T.K. Gaisser, Q. Shafi and T. Stanev. Another particle theory faculty member, C.N. Leung, will return to campus in February 2011.

October 27, 2009 - The University of Delaware has won a $4.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) to lead a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research project to develop the next generation of high-performance permanent magnets.

September 30, 2009 - At a recent International Conference on Magnetism 2009 held in Germany, which has brought together leading researchers  (including plenary talks by Nobel Laureates in Physics, P. W. Anderson, P. Grünberg, and A. Fert)  in magnetism, strongly correlated electron systems, spintronics, and applications of soft and hard magnetic materials,  Prof. George C.

July 22, 2009 - Xing Chen is a man of many talents. Not only is he a University of Delaware graduate student in physics, he is an accomplished pianist, and last month he was selected as one of the winners of the 24th International Young Artist Piano Competition. Chen is a graduate of the University of Science and Technology of China, and his adviser at UD is physics professor John Q Xiao. Chen has a pending patent in nanomaterials fabrication.

June 1, 2009 - The Department of Physics & Astronomy had a record number of graduates for the 2008-2009 academic year: 25 Bachelors, 1 Masters  and 11 PhD degrees were awarded. The convocation was held on May 30 in 130 Sharp Lab following the Commencement ceremony in the stadium. Guest speaker Prof. Jose D'Arruda, PhD 1972 and Chair of the Physics Department at University of North Carolina at Pembroke encouraged graduates to continue to pursue their dreams and remain curious about the world.

May 13, 2009 - Astrophysicist Stefan Funk, who is currently Assistant Professor of Physics at Stanford University and member of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology and SLAC, is the recepient of 2009 Shakti P. Duggal Award. Every second year, a committee from the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics bestows this award on one outstanding young scientist studying the physics of cosmic rays.
