[Cugapost] Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in experimental nuclear Physics: University of Michigan

[Lorelei Chopard]

Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in experimental nuclear 
Physics: University of Michigan

The University of Michigan medium energy group invites applications for 
a Postdoctoral Research Associate Position. The successful candidate 
will join our ongoing Drell-Yan effort with the SeaQuest collaboration 
at Fermilab. SeaQuest will evolve over the next several years from 
running with unpolarized liquid hydrogen and deuterium targets to 
running with a polarized frozen ammonia target to study the u-bar Sivers 
functions and its connection to the orbital angular momentum of light 
sea quarks. The successful candidate will be involved in the current 
Drell-Yan measurements of the d_bar over u_bar ratio, but the primary 
focus will be with the development, installation and running of the 
polarized frozen ammonia target. Previous experience with cryogenic 
targets and especially with polarized solid targets will be advantageous.

The position requires residence in the vicinity of Fermilab and periodic 
travel to the University of Michigan. Applicants must hold a Ph.D.  in 
experimental nuclear or particle physics. The position is available 
starting 6/1/2016, or at a later, mutually agreed date. The initial 
appointment is for one year, renewable by mutual agreement for up to 
three years. The University of Michigan is an Affirmative Action/Equal 
Opportunity Employer.

Candidates should send a cover letter, a CV, and have three letters of 
recommendation sent to:

Wolfgang Lorenzon

Application deadline: June 1, 2016
