[Cugapost] POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE Position at Duke University- A message from Haiyan Gao

[Lorelei Chopard]

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 at Jefferson Lab, e.g. a 
precise measurement of the proton charge radius in Hall B at Jefferson 
Lab; the transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions 
(TMD) studies employing a polarized 3He, and NH3 targets, 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 state-of-the-art 
three-body calculations as well as the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum 
rule on 3He.

The group is also actively involved in the development of TMD physics at 
a future electron-ion collider. The group also has an active program in 
studies of fundamental symmetries, e.g. a new neutron EDM experiment at 
the Fundamental Neutron Physics Beam-line (FNPB) at Oak Ridge National 
Laboratory, and tabletop experiments searching 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 Oct 1, 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Based on mutual satisfaction and continued funding, the possibility for
extension exists for a maximum of two additional 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 <mailto:gao at phy.duke.edu>), TUNL 
Box 90308, Duke University,
Durham, NC 27708-0308. Duke University prohibits discrimination and
