[Cugapost] Postdoctoral Research Associate position at UMass, Amherst - A message from Krishna Kumar

[Lorelei Chopard]

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position with the 
Experimental Nuclear Physics Group at the University of Massachusetts, 
Amherst. The primary responsibility of the successful candidate will be 
to participate in the development of the program of parity-violating 
electron scattering experiments planned in Hall A at Jefferson 
Laboratory after the energy upgrade, namely the PREX-II, MOLLER, SOLID 
and CREX projects. These experiments will search for physics beyond the 
Standard Model at the TeV-scale, measure the neutron distribution inside 
nuclei, and probe novel aspects of the QCD structure of the nucleon. 
More details on the projects can be found at 
http://people.umass.edu/kkumar/pves.html.

The position is for one year initially, with the possibility of renewal 
for up to three years upon mutual agreement and availability of funds. 
The successful candidate will have the flexibility to reside either at 
UMass or at Jefferson Laboratory and will have the opportunity to 
participate in other ongoing nuclear physics research. Applicants must 
have a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or particle physics. Prior 
experience with both software and hardware development in 
accelerator-based experiments is desirable. Work related travel may be 
undertaken.  Applicants should send a CV, a description of research 
interests, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent 
directly to Prof. Krishna S. Kumar, Department of Physics, University of 
Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003 or by email to kkumar at physics.umass.edu 
<mailto:kkumar at physics.umass.edu>. Review of applications will begin 
August 9, 2013. The nominal start date is September 1, 2013. The 
position will remain open until filled.

The Physics Department is committed in its efforts to hire candidates 
who will enhance the diversity and gender balance its faculty, staff and 
students. We strongly encourage women and members of minority groups to 
apply. /The University of Massachusetts is an Affirmative Action/Equal 
Opportunity Employer/
