<br>
<big>DATE POSTED: APRIL 21, 2011

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

<big><br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.</big>
