[Cuga] Post Doctoral Position in Detector R&D at Old Dominion Universitty- A message from Charles Hyde

[Lorelei Carlson]

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE

The Experimental Nuclear Physics group of the Department of Physics at Old
Dominion University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate. The
successful candidate will dedicate half of his/her effort to a new
initiative to simulate and prototype a Detection of Internally Reflected
Cherenkov (DIRC) detector for particle ID in a future Electron Ion
Collider.  This project is in collaboration with Jefferson Lab, Catholic
University, and GSI, Darmstadt Germany, with Charles Hyde as Principal
Investigator at Old Dominion University.

In March 2012 the candidate will also assume the management of the
computing facility of the Old Dominion University Experimental Nuclear
Physics group. The computing facility currently has 24 64-bit and 10
32-bit processors running linux (PCs) or unix (Mac) with a common total
disk storage of 30 TB.  The position is expected to give some flexibility
to work on ongoing research projects.  Our group (consisting of Profs. M.
Amaryan, S. Bültmann, G. Dodge, C. Hyde, S. Kuhn, and L. Weinstein) is one
of the largest university groups at Jefferson Lab. We are also working on
elastic and diffractive pp scattering with STAR at RHIC. For more
information, see http://www.physics.odu.edu/nucexpt/.

A Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics, particle physics, or related
field is required.  The position is for one year initially, with a
possibility of continuation.  Submit a letter of application, curriculum
vita, and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent directly to
Old Dominion University Research Foundation, P.O. Box 6369, Norfolk, VA
23508 or odurfjobs at odu.edu.  Specify job #11020. Screening of applicants
will commence immediately and continue until the position is filled.
