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 November 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
development, 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 November 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
