[Cugapost] Postdoctoral Position at Duke University---a message from Haiyan Gao

[Rachel Harris]

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE

The Medium Energy Physics Group at the Triangle Universities Nuclear
Laboratory (TUNL) and Duke University invites applications for a
Postdoctoral Research Associate position.
The group has research interests which include studies of nucleon
structure at the High Intensity Gamma Source (HIGS) facility at the Duke
University Free Electron Laser Laboratory and Jefferson Lab, e.g. the 
neutron transversity study employing a polarized 3He target and the 
newly proposed SoLID device in Hall A with a 12-GeV CEBAF at Jefferson 
Lab, the double-polarization Compton scattering experiment from a 
polarized 3He target at HIGS to extract the neutron spin 
polarizabilities and polarized photodisintegration of 3He to test the 
Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule on 3He. The group also has an 
active program in
studies of fundamental symmetries and the search for QCD exotic state(s),
e.g. a new neutron EDM experiment at the Fundamental Neutron Physics
Beam-line (FNPB) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and searches for new 
types of forces.


We are looking for candidates who can make creative and important 
contributions to our program. A PhD in experimental nuclear or particle 
physics or related fields, is required. The initial appointment is for 
one year, to commence on June 1, 2011 or as soon as possible thereafter. 
Based on mutual satisfaction and continued funding, the possibility for 
extension exists for
a maximum of three years. Applicants should submit a vita and brief 
statement of research interests, and should have three letters of 
recommendation sent to:
Professor Haiyan Gao (gao at phy.duke.edu), TUNL Box 90308, Duke University,
Durham, NC 27708-0308. Duke University prohibits discrimination and
