Position Description

2 YEAR TERM POSITION
POSITION POSTED: APRIL 3, 2017
SALARY RANGE:  $52,600 - $79,000 (PD)

Jefferson Lab invites applications for a post-doctoral research 
associate position in the Hall C nuclear physics group.  The core Hall C 
equipment consists of two focusing magnetic spectrometers and various 
high-power targets.  The successful applicant will be expected to 
participate in the 12 GeV era experiments in Hall C.  Physics topics of 
these experiments include nucleon and nuclear structure functions, the 
connection between nucleon-nucleon interactions and the quark structure 
of many-nucleon systems, and measurements of pion and kaon form factors 
and their basic cross sections in semi-inclusive and deep exclusive 
scattering experiments.  Along with participating in the research 
program, postdoctoral fellows in Hall C are expected to help with 
maintaining the particle detector hardware as well as the development of 
the software for analysis.

Position Requirements

By the date of hire, the candidate must have successfully defended their 
doctoral dissertation in experimental nuclear, particle, or high-energy 
physics. Experience working with particle detectors and analyzing data 
is essential, and a background in lepton-nucleus physics would be 
beneficial. The position will initially be available for a 2 year term, 
with the possibility of an additional year extension, contingent upon 
mutual agreement and the availability of funds.  Applicants should send 
curriculum vitae and arrange to have three letters of references sent 
to: Erica Jones eljones at jlab.org <mailto:eljones at jlab.org>.

Mental Requirements

·Ability to comprehend, formulate, and communicate highly abstract concepts
·Ability to express or exchange complex ideas by means of spoken and 
written communication
·Ability to analyze and interpret complex data and develop models

Physical Requirements

• Ability to get across various locations on the laboratory site and 
access work areas
• Ability to work on a computer for extended periods
• Visual capabilities sufficient to use computer workstations, read 
documents, and see safety alarms
• Auditory capabilities to hear safety alarms
