[Cuga] Research Associate Position for Dr. Donal Day- A message from Donal Day

[Lorelei Carlson]

Research Associate for Experimental Nuclear and Particle Physics

University of Virginia

 

The Polarized Target group at the University of Virginia invites 
applications for a postdoctoral research associate position, to start in 
Fall 2011. Our group currently has three research faculty, two 
post-doctoral research associates, and 5 graduate students.

The successful candidate will join our group's program of studies of 
Electron Interactions in Nuclei, which is carried out primarily at 
Jefferson Lab, where our group plays a leading role in major 
experiments. In Hall A we are preparing to measure nucleon properties 
with polarization degrees of freedom in the upcoming experiments E08-027 
and E08-007. These experiments will use our solid polarized target and 
Jefferson Lab's polarized electron beam. In Hall B we will also 
participate in measurements using the Hall B polarized target.

Our group has a strong program of target physics studies in our 
polarized target laboratory where we have a 4He evaporation refrigerator 
working with an 8 T superconducting solenoid. A dilution refrigerator is 
under development. Polarized materials are tested after irradiation and 
chemical doping for use in Jefferson Lab experiments.

Opportunities to participate in other related experiments in all four 
halls are also available. The successful candidate is expected to play a 
leading role in the preparation, data collection and analysis phases of 
one or more of these experiments, and is encouraged to propose new 
experiments for the energy upgrade at JLAB.

The completion of a Ph.D. degree in Physics by appointment start date is 
required. Candidates with a background in experimental nuclear or 
particle physics are preferred.

This is a one year appointment however appointments may be renewed for 
an additional two, one-year increments and is contingent upon available 
funding and satisfactory performance.

To apply, please submit a candidate profile on-line and attach a cover 
letter, curriculum vitae and the contact information for three 
professional references through Jobs at UVA (https://jobs.virginia.edu); 
search on posting number 0608394.

Review of applications will begin on September 12, 2011; however, the 
position will remain open until filled.
