Position Description


THREE YEAR TERM POSITION
POSITION POSTED: OCTOBER 17, 2019
SALARY RANGE: $62,300 - $98.300 (SS I)

You 'matter' to us! Our diverse team at Jefferson Lab includes more than 700 people, including physicists, engineers, computer professionals, technicians and more. From probing the basic building blocks of matter to performing advanced computing and applied research, we are on the leading edge of science and technology. If you are looking for a great job in a unique place where your contributions truly matter, consider Jefferson Lab!

Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) invite applications for the 2020 JSA/JLab Nathan Isgur Fellowship in Experimental Nuclear Physics. This Fellowship was established in honor of the late Nathan Isgur, who served as the Lab's Chief Scientist from 1990 to 2001. The Fellowship award is expected to start in 2020, and will be for a three-year period, which may vary under special circumstances.

The Nathan Isgur Fellowship aims to attract new talent to Jefferson Lab that can significantly contribute to the Lab's 12-GeV scientific program and/or the foreseen program at an Electron-Ion Collider. The Experimental Physics Division at Jefferson Lab pursues a very broad and rich program aiming to address topics in hadronic, nuclear, and electroweak physics. The high intensity, high polarization and 12 GeV energy of the CEBAF electron beam will enable unprecedented study of the inner structure of nucleons and atomic nuclei, and will allow physicists to study the limits of the Standard Model at the low-energy precision frontier. The above program is carried out in four experimental halls - A, B, C, and D - each equipped with a unique particle-detection system (https://www.jlab.org/physics).

Specifically, the physics programs fall into four general categories:

1) the physical origin of quark confinement (including meson and baryon spectroscopy)

2) the three-dimensional structure of the nucleon

3) the quark structure of nuclei

4) the discovery of new physics through high precision tests of the Standard Model.
The Fellow is expected to lead and carry out a strong research program. A Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or high energy physics and a solid publication record is required. You can find more about Jefferson Lab and its Experimental Physics Division by clicking on: https://www.jlab.org/.

Position Requirements


A PhD in an appropriate area of experimental nuclear physics is a prerequisite, together with a record of publications in leading journals and talks at workshops and conferences.

All applicants must upload (a) your CV, (b) research interest/plan and (c) publication list through Jefferson Lab's online application tracking system here or <https://careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/client_jeffersonlab/int1068944604/search.do> https://www.jlab.org/.  Additionally, 3 letters of recommendation should be sent on your behalf to Janet Prater at prater at jlab.org by November 1, 2019.
