[Cugapost] UConn postdoc posting

[Lorelei Chopard]

Job Posting

The Hadronic Physics Group, in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, 
at the University of Connecticut is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to 
develop a software framework for the computation of SIDIS structure 
functions on the basis of given "model input" or "trial 
parametrizations", and for the SIDIS event generators.Such a framework 
would be used in the future for 3-D PDF extractions and validations. We 
are looking either for an experimentalist with strong theory background, 
or for a theorist interested in close collaboration with 
experimentalists. The successful candidate will be expected to play a 
leading role in the design, implementation, testing, deployment, and 
maintenance of the framework. The Fellow will be stationed at Jefferson 
Lab, making periodic visits to UConn as required by the research efforts 
of the group, and will help supervise the efforts of graduate students 
from the group stationed at Jefferson Lab.

excellent written and verbal communication and presentation skills as 
demonstrated by scientific publications in major refereed journals, 
conference presentations, etc., and a general knowledge of nuclear and 
particle physics.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience/expertise in the following areas is strongly desired: Physics 
of medium- or high-energy electron scattering; Radiative correction 
calculations for electron scattering experiments; Modelling of structure 
functions; Implementation of QCD-evolution equations; JAVA/C++ 
programming; Monte Carlo simulation; and/or Modern statistical analysis 
techniques.

Appointment Terms

This position has an anticipated start date of December 1, 2016 and is
