[Cugapost] MIT Post-do Ad - A message from James Maxwell

[Jodi Patient]

Postdoctoral Research Associate Position, experimental nuclear physics.
Hadronic Physics Group – Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Laboratory for Nuclear Science at MIT invites applications for a Postdoctoral
Research Associate position with the Hadronic Physics Group.

The successful candidate will join our ongoing collaboration with Brookhaven
National Laboratory (BNL), Upton, Long Island, New York to develop a source of
polarized He-3 ions for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at BNL.  The BNL-MIT
collaboration has developed a concept using high field optical pumping and the
existing Electron Beam Ionization Source at BNL.  The main focus of effort over the
next several years is to realize this concept and to test it by extracting and
measuring the nuclear polarization of fully stripped polarized He-­‐3 nuclei.  The
project offers a unique opportunity for a young physicist to play a leading role in the
development of cutting-edge ion-source technology, which is essential for next- 
generation subatomic physics experiments.

The position requires residence in the vicinity of Brookhaven National Laboratory
and periodic travel to MIT.  

Applicants should have a recent Ph.D. in physics.

MIT is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages women
and minorities to apply.

Please submit your CV, cover letter, and arrange for three letters of
recommendation to be sent to:
