<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Cambria;">We are delighted to announce that
Rolf Ent has accepted the position as Jefferson Lab’s Associate
Director for
Experimental Nuclear Physics. The appointment will become
effective on November
1, when Rolf will make the transition from his current Acting AD
status.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Cambria;">The appointment follows an
extensive search and a thorough review of exceptional candidates
from around
the world by a search committee jointly chaired by Bob McKeown
(Jefferson Lab)
and Don Geesaman (Argonne National Lab) and whose members
included Jefferson
Lab staff and other distinguished members of the international
nuclear physics
community.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Cambria;">Since joining Jefferson Lab’s
staff in 1993, Rolf has served in a number of leadership
positions. He has
worked closely with all members of the Jefferson Lab community,
including
Users, postdoctoral fellows and students, as well as members of
the
engineering, technical and physics staff.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Cambria;">Rolf served as Hall C leader,
before taking on leadership roles in the 12 GeV Upgrade project
and the lab’s
proposed Electron-Ion Collider design. He started at Jefferson
Lab as a Hall C
staff scientist, while also working as an associate professor at
Hampton
University. While at Hampton University, he served as associate
director for
experimental research at the Nuclear/High Energy Physics
Research Center of
Excellence.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Cambria;">Rolf began his research career at
NIKHEF in 1985, where, for his dissertation, he started an
electron-induced
cluster knockout program to investigate two- and more-nucleon
correlations in
nuclei. His 1989-1990 postdoctoral research at CERN (with the
University of
Virginia) was connected with the development of the polarized
solid state
target, which was used in measurements of the spin structure
functions of the
proton and neutron. </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Cambria;">In 1990, Rolf began research at
MIT, focusing on a broad program of scattering measurements,
usually with
polarized targets at Bates Lab, Indiana University Cyclotron
Facility, NIKHEF
and SLAC.<span style=""> </span>This expertise gained
served him well in commissioning the Hall C apparatus with the
start of CEBAF
operations.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Cambria;">Rolf has developed programs to
understand the dual description of electron-nucleus scattering
with quark and
nucleon degrees of freedom.<span style=""> </span></span></p>

font-family: Cambria;">Rolf earned his B.S. in 1985 and
his Ph.D. in 1989 at the Free University Amsterdam/NIKHEF. He
has authored more
than 120 papers published in refereed journals. He also has
served on
organizing committees for many different workshops/conferences,
on review
committees, and as spokesperson for several experiments. He has
taught select
courses at MIT, the Free University of Amsterdam, and Hampton
University.<br>
