Polarized Target group at the University of Virginia invites
applications for a postdoctoral research associate position, to start
in Fall 2011. Our group currently has three research faculty, two
post-doctoral research associates, and 5 graduate students.
<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will join our group's program of studies
of Electron Interactions in Nuclei, which is carried out primarily at
Jefferson Lab, where our group plays a leading role in major
experiments. In Hall A we are preparing to measure nucleon properties
with polarization degrees of freedom in the upcoming experiments
E08-027 and E08-007. These experiments will use our solid polarized
target and Jefferson Lab's polarized electron beam. In Hall B we will
also participate in measurements using the Hall B polarized target. <br>
<br>
Our group has a strong program of target physics studies in our
polarized target laboratory where we have a 4He evaporation
refrigerator working with an 8 T superconducting solenoid. A dilution
refrigerator is under development. Polarized materials are tested after
irradiation and chemical doping for use in Jefferson Lab experiments. <br>
<br>
Opportunities to participate in other related experiments in all four
halls are also available. The successful candidate is expected to play
a leading role in the preparation, data collection and analysis phases
of one or more of these experiments, and is encouraged to propose new
experiments for the energy upgrade at JLAB. <br>
<br>
The completion of a Ph.D. degree in Physics by appointment start date
is required. Candidates with a background in experimental nuclear or
particle physics are preferred.
<br>
<br>
This is a one year appointment however appointments may be renewed
for an additional two, one-year increments and is contingent upon
available funding and satisfactory performance.
<br>
<br>
To apply, please submit a candidate profile on-line and attach a
cover letter, curriculum vitae and the contact information for three
professional references through Jobs@UVA (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://jobs.virginia.edu">https://jobs.virginia.edu</a>);
search on posting number 0608394.
<br>
<br>
Review of applications will begin on September 12, 2011; however, the
position will remain open until filled.
