[Cugapost] Postdoc position from Duke University Medium Energy Physics Group

[Lorelei Carlson]

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE AT DUKE UNIVERSITY

The Medium Energy Physics Group at the Triangle Universities Nuclear 
Laboratory, and at Duke University invites applications for a 
Postdoctoral Research Associate position. The group has research 
interests which include studies of nucleon structure at the High 
Intensity Gamma Source (HIGS) facility at the Duke University Free 
Electron Laser Laboratory and at Jefferson Lab, e.g. a precise 
measurement of the proton charge radius in Hall B at Jefferson Lab; the 
transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMD) 
studies employing polarized ^3 He and NH_3 targets, and the proposed 
SoLID device in Hall A with a 12-GeV CEBAF at Jefferson Lab; the Compton 
scattering experiments at HIGS to extract the nucleon polarizabilities; 
and searches of exotic QCD states at Jefferson Lab. The group is joining 
an experiment on a precision measurement of the eta radiative decay 
width via the Primakoff effect in Hall D at Jefferson Lab, and is 
involved in the development of TMD physics at a future electron-ion 
collider. The successful candidate is expected to contribute 
significantly to the physics programs as well as to the SoLID detector.

We are looking for candidates who can make creative and important 
contributions to our program. A PhD in experimental nuclear or particle 
physics or related fields is required. The initial appointment is for 
one year, which can commence immediately. Based on mutual satisfaction 
and continued funding, the possibility for extension exists for two 
additional years. Applicants should submit a vita and brief statement of 
research interests, and should have three letters of recommendation sent 
to Academic Jobs Online at: 
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/12669. The application site is 
open until the position is filled. For questions, please contact Prof. 
Haiyan Gao at gao at phy.duke.edu.
