[Cugapost] POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE at NC A&T SU

[Lorelei Carlson]

Postdoctoral Research Associate Position
Experimental Nuclear Physics Group
North Carolina A&T State University

The Nuclear Physics Group at the North Carolina A&T State University is 
accepting
applications for a postdoctoral research associate position to work on 
the analysis of the
PRad experiment (E12-11-106) and preparation, run and data analysis of a new
experiment to measure the η→γγ decay width (E12-10-011). The position is 
available
from August 1, 2018, The initial appointment will be for one year, with 
the possibility of
extension for up to two additional years, subject to funding 
considerations and mutual
agreement. For the past several years, the PRad Collaboration has 
developed and
constructed a new experimental setup based on a novel windowless 
hydrogen gas flow
target and multichannel electromagnetic calorimeter (HyCal) to measure 
the proton
charge reduce with a high accuracy to address the current “proton charge 
radius puzzle”
in hadronic and atomic physics. This experiment successfully performed 
in 2016 in Hall
B at JLab with a collection of high statistics and rich experimental 
data set. The second
experiment, the η→γγ decay width, is in its final stages of construction 
and preparation
for a short test run in this fall and expected to perform the first part 
of the experiment in
the spring of 2019 in Hall D at JLab.

The successful candidate will be located at Jefferson Lab and expected 
to take a leading
roles in both experiments. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in experimental 
nuclear or high
energy physics and experience working with hardware and software for 
accelerator based
experiments, as well as, an extensive knowledge of data analysis 
techniques. Review of
applications will start August 1, 2018 and will continue to accept 
applications until the
position is filled.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of 
research interests
and experience and arrange to have three letters of recommendations sent 
(and emailed)
to:
Dr. A. Gasparian, Professor of Physics
Department of Physics
101 Marteena Hall
1601 E. Market St.
