[Cuga] Hall D Staff Scientist Position - A Message from Jefferson Lab Human Resources

[Janet Prater]

*HALL D STAFF SCIENTIST - 10683*

DATE POSTED: APRIL 21, 2011

SALARY RANGE: $54,400 - $108,100 (SS I/II)

DUTIES:
Together with the upgrade of Jefferson Lab beam energy from 6 to 12 GeV, 
Hall D, a new experimental facility for high-intensity photon beam 
experiments, is under construction and is scheduled to start operations 
in 2014.  The initial physics program is a search for exotic states in 
meson spectroscopy motivated by QCD predictions.  The project includes a 
beam line for linearly polarized photons, a spectrometer for the final 
state particles, and a fast, fully pipelined data acquisition system. A 
position is open for Staff Scientist I or II, depending on the 
experience and qualifications of the successful candidate.  The new 
Staff Scientist will assume a lead role in construction, implementation, 
and testing of some of the Hall D subsystems, including the detectors 
and the DAQ.  Following the completion of the facility construction, 
this individual will share the responsibility for execution of the 
experimental physics program in Hall D with the Hall D staff and 
external user community, and will provide hardware and software support 
of the Hall D detector and other instrumentation.  The Hall D staff 
scientists are expected to be actively engaged in the Hall D scientific 
program and in initiating new research proposals for the facility.

Ph.D. in experimental nuclear, particle, or high-energy astrophysics 
with post doctoral experience in nuclear or particle physics environment 
is required.  The successful candidate should have expertise in the 
fabrication, assembly and operations of large complex detectors; or in 
the implementation of high-rate data acquisition systems.  Familiarity 
with modern, pipelined DAQ systems is a positive.
