[Cugapost] Hall A/C Staff Scientist- apply by 11/4

[Lorelei Carlson]

Hall A/C Staff Scientist



Jefferson Lab, located in Newport News, Virginia, USA, is a world-class scientific laboratory managed for the U. S. Department of Energy by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC. Its core is the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF).  To expand the opportunity for discovery and to address important topics in hadronic, nuclear, and electroweak physics, Jefferson Lab completed in 2017 an upgrade of its facility by doubling the energy of the electron beam from 6 GeV to 12 GeV, constructing a new experimental hall (D) and upgrading its existing experimental halls, A, B, C.  In experimental Hall A, an ambitious program of large installation experiments centered around the Super BigBite Spectrometer is planned and new large detectors, including MOLLER and SoLID are under construction and development.  In Hall C, a series of experiments with two large superconducting spectrometers is planned, and a new Neutral Particle Spectrometer and novel Compact Photon Source are under construction and development.  Both halls, additionally, employ polarized targets and beamline polarimeters to support a variety of spin-physics research.



The new Staff Scientist will assume a growing and flexible leading role in the construction and/or operation of multiple Hall subsystems.  This individual will share the responsibility for execution of the experimental physics program in both Halls A and C with the combined Hall A/C staff and external user community, providing hardware, software and, as required, project management support of the Hall A/C instrumentation.  Hall staff scientists are expected to be actively engaged in aspects of the Jefferson Lab scientific program.
