[Cugapost] Postdoctoral Position at Los Alamos National Lab

[Lorelei Chopard]

Postdoctoral Position in High Energy Nuclear Physics

Los Alamos National Lab

The Dynamic Radiation team, part of the Neutron Science and Technology 
group (P-23) at Los Alamos National Lab, is seeking well-qualified 
candidates for a postdoctoral position for the construction and 
operation of the polarized target for Fermilab. This target is built in 
Los Alamos for experiment E1039, to measure the Sivers function of the 
sea quarks with the Drell Yan process. This target will be used in 
conjunction with the existing E906 SeaQuest spectrometer and consists of 
a 5 T superconducting split coil magnet, with the polarization 
transverse to the beam direction. The magnet is in the process of being 
refurbished at Oxford Instruments. LANL's responsibility consists of 
building the microwave and NMR system, theevaporation pumping system, 
the target control soft and hardware , the integration into the existing 
spectrometer and DAQ and project management.

The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. in nuclear or high energy 
physics. Candidates are sought with strong experimental expertise in one 
or more of the following areas: Detector development, vacuum technology, 
cryogenics , polarized targets . The successful applicant is expected to 
contribute to LANL deliverables for the project and to analyze the first 
data from the experiment.This job will require some travel.

The position is initially for two years with the possibility of 
extending if for a third year.
