This is the 2016 HEP-Experiment faculty (tenure-track or permanent position) rumor mill. No guarantees of accuracy here. For more information on our posting policies, see The Fine Print.
For HEP-Experiment postdoc jobs, see the hep-ex postdoc rumor mill.
To submit rumors, or to help fill in missing information from past years, email hepexrumor [at] gmail [dot] com or fill in the form below. The form is anonymous. If you submit a rumor via the form and it's not posted within a few days, or if your rumor is removed, please email to find out why. Your feedback on the structure and content of the site is also welcome, either through the form or by email.
Please help to keep the list of jobs updated by submitting links to specific job postings.
Some random notes that don't fit neatly into the table are at the bottom of the page.
Field Key:
Colliders (energy frontier)
Dark matter, direct detection (cosmic frontier)
Neutrino, lepton physics (intensity frontier)
Other
Combinations of letters indicate an ad that either specifies no subfield, or identifies several. Combinations that contain underlined letters indicate some perceived preference (or rumor) for a particular subfield. See more on this in The Fine Print.
Jobs for 2016-2017 will start going up on a new page in July. In the mean time, see notes below the tables for new postings.

Random Notes
Royal Holloway sending rejections (Aug. 8)
Wayne state has an opening for a non-tenure-track Research Professor to work on Belle: https://jobs.wayne.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/position/JobDetails_css.jsp?postingId=508796
The Michigan job is a general search in physics, not specific to HEP
The South Dakota link is a generic link to their job openings page for the university, not a specific link to the physics opening. If someone has a link specific to the physics post then please pass it along.
Now a link is available on Inspire.
There is more than one position at Rome (La Sapienza), unclear what they're looking for though.
Thanks to the person who translated the Rome ad. There may be one HEP job in there, but it's a very wide search. We will leave it up just in case, but it's probably not a HEP job.
There's a similar situation with the Pisa position, which is part of a large listing that includes "a tenure-track position... for experimental physics of fundamental interactions."
Apparently the Argonne job has been pulled.
Job was pulled from the site because it was offered to someone, who accepted. Table updated. (Jan. 12)
Wilson Fellowship sending rejection letters. (Dec. 15)
Seems like most of the Stony Brook candidates are listed on their seminar page. (Dec. 21)
Apparently there is a position open in Paris for colliders, does anyone have a link? (Jan. 5)
The CNRS post includes 1 ATLAS, 1 CMS, 1 instrumentation, and 1 Neutrino position. May break that row into separate entries if enough short lists are shared. (Jan. 7)
CNRS positions split up, with links to lists of people involved in the competition. Interviews happening next week, decisions next month. (Mar. 7)
STFC Rutherford Fellowship interview invitations have gone out (Jan. 15)
Flanders is not necessarily a faculty position, depends on the applicant and host institution. (Feb. 9)
Seminar list (including short-listed candidates) for Caltech is on their seminar page. Not sure if all those names are short-listed though. (Feb. 29)
Vanderbilt was an "opportunity" hire. (Mar. 8)
UCSC had a "research physicist" position open -- not tenure-track, but of interest to this community. http://inspirehep.net/record/1419942 (Mar. 22)
Regrets letters for shortlisted (but not offered) Wilson Fellowship candidates are being sent. (Mar. 28)
RTD-B positions in Italy are tenure track, see Perugia opening above. If there are other such positions, please submit them and they can be tracked as well. (Apr. 28)
Perugia position Ricercatore a Tempo Determinato "tipo A” is not tenure-track, while “tipo B” are called tenured track positions. This position is more like a senior postdoc. (May 24)
Corrinne Mills to FNAL as a scientist (May 1)
Make that a UIC-FNAL joint appointment for Mills. (May 3)
† Anne Schukraft has been offered an Associate Scientist position in the neutrino division at FNAL, different from the one posted above. (May 10)↩
MIT has made an offer, candidate prefers to remain off the list.
Queen Mary job shortlist is out and the interviews are in July. (May 20)
OSU has made another offer (rumored to be accepted), candidate prefers to remain off the list.
Bristol already sending rejections, within one day from the deadline for application. (June 2)
Caltech made an offer (June 3)
LBNL made two offers (June 8)
Royal Society University Research Fellowship, Mark WIlliams (CERN) [LHCb], accepted Manchester. (June 15)
Is there more information on this position? Job ad, or other names from a short list?
Thanks for the link, now included in the table above.
Lund is hiring next year: https://lu.mynetworkglobal.com/en/what:job/jobID:106509/where:4/
