[Cugapost] Research Associate Position for Xiaochao Zheng

[Lorelei Chopard]

The Department of Physics at the University of Virginia invites 
applications for a postdoctoral Research Associate to begin in January 
2014. The successful candidate will work with Prof. Xiaochao Zheng and 
in the area of experimental nuclear physics with a focus on experiments 
at the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV Upgrade and possibly other innovations 
related to polarized 3He. The Jefferson Lab 12 GeV experiments that 
Prof. Zheng is working on include measurement of the neutron spin 
asymmetry A1n in both Halls A and C, and parity-violation in deep 
inelastic scattering (PVDIS) using the new SoLID spectrometer.

This is a one year appointment; however appointments may be renewed for 
additional one- or two-year extensions, contingent upon available 
funding and satisfactory performance. The position can be stationed in 
either Charlottesville or Jefferson Lab, but frequent travel between the 
two locations will be needed.

The completion of a Ph.D. degree in experimental nuclear or high energy 
physics is required by the appointment start date. Experience in 
detector development with a focus on electromagnetic calorimeters, 
polarized 3He target work, GEANT-based simulations, and supervising 
students at both undergrad and graduate levels are highly preferred. The 
candidate must be able to lead and manage research projects independently.

To apply, please submit a candidate profile on-line through Jobs at UVA 
(https://jobs.virginia.edu) and attach the following: a cover letter, 
curriculum vitae and the contact information for three professional 
references; search on posting number 0613286.

Review of applications will begin on December 15, 2013; however, the 
position will remain open until filled.
