                POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
               EXPERIMENTAL MEDIUM ENERGY PHYSICS
                   CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY

The Carnegie Mellon University Experimental Quark Interaction (Medium
Energy Physics) Group invites applications for a post-doctoral
research position to support our work in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. The
position is renewable for up to three years.  The starting date is
negotiable.

The faculty members in our group are Gregg Franklin, Brian Quinn,
Curtis Meyer, and Reinhard Schumacher, with the first two working
mostly on Hall A experiments while the latter two concentrate on GlueX
and finishing CLAS analysis.  The group usually supports two or three
post-docs and 4 to 7 graduate students.  Our present activities in
Hall A include: APEX, parity-violating electron scattering experiments
(PREx and CREx), Compton polarimetery, construction of a large hadron
calorimeter for the SBS, and preparation for SBS experiments.
Participation in these activities is encouraged and new initiatives,
including experiments at other laboratories, are welcome.

We seek candidates with strong experimental skills including data
analysis and preferably with some hardware experience.  Experience with
Root, Geant4, and CODA would be useful.

Candidates with a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics, medium
energy, or high energy physics are encouraged to apply.  Further
information about some of the group's activities can be found at
http://www.cmu.edu/physics/research/mep-exp/index.html . Applicants
should send a curriculum vitae and summary of research interests, and
arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to: Professor
Brian Quinn, Physics Department, Carnegie Mellon University,
Pittsburgh, PA, 15213, or to bquinn at cmu.edu.  All applications
received by Aug. 31 will be considered, and review will continue until
the position is filled.  Carnegie Mellon is an equal-opportunity,
affirmative-action employer.
