<p class="MsoNormal">POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE <br>
<br>
The Medium Energy Physics Group at the Triangle Universities
Nuclear <br>
Laboratory (TUNL) and Duke University invites applications for a <br>
Postdoctoral Research Associate position. <br>
The group has research interests which include studies of nucleon
<br>
structure at the High Intensity Gamma Source (HIGS) facility at
the Duke <br>
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 a polarized 3He,
and NH3 targets, and the newly proposed SoLID device in Hall A
with a 12-GeV CEBAF at Jefferson Lab; the double-polarization
Compton scattering experiment from a polarized 3He target at HIGS
to extract the neutron spin polarizabilities and polarized
photodisintegration of 3He to test the state-of-the-art three-body
calculations as well as the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) sum rule
on 3He. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The group is also actively involved in the
development of TMD physics at a future electron-ion collider. The
group also has an active program in studies of fundamental
symmetries, e.g. a new neutron EDM experiment at the Fundamental
Neutron Physics Beam-line (FNPB) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory,
and tabletop experiments searching for new types of forces. <br>
<br>
We are looking for candidates who can make creative and important
<br>
contributions to our program. A PhD in experimental nuclear or
particle <br>
physics or related fields is required. The initial appointment is
for <br>
one year, to commence on Oct 1, 2013 or as soon as possible
thereafter. <br>
Based on mutual satisfaction and continued funding, the
possibility for <br>
extension exists for a maximum of two additional years. Applicants
should submit<br>
a vita and brief statement of research interests, and should have
three letters of <br>
recommendation sent to: <br>
