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

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 applicant 
will have the opportunity to join our ongoing Drell-Yan effort with the 
SeaQuest collaboration at Fermilab and our MUSE effort with the MUSE 
collaboration at PSI in Switzerland. SeaQuest has completed its running 
with unpolarized liquid hydrogen and deuterium targets and is now 
setting up to run with polarized targets to study the u_bar and d_bar 
Sivers functions and their connection to the orbital angular momentum of 
light sea quarks. The successful applicant will be involved in the 
installation and running of the polarized frozen ammonia target and play 
a leading role in the analysis of the data. There is also an opportunity 
to participate in the MUSE experiment at PSI that aims to resolve the 
unexplained large discrepancies of the proton charge radius measurements 
made with muonic hydrogen and electron-proton scattering. The successful 
applicant will be involved in the running of the liquid hydrogen target 
and play a leading role in the analysis of the data.

Although the successful candidate will be stationed at the University of 
Michigan, frequent travel and extended stays at Fermilab and periodic 
travel to PSI is expected. Previous experience with cryogenic targets 
and especially with polarized solid targets will be advantageous.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D.  in experimental nuclear or particle 
physics. The position is available starting 8/1/2018, 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.

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

Wolfgang Lorenzon

Email: lorenzon at umich.edu

Review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until the 
position has been filled.

Application deadline: September  1, 2018
