Department of Physics at the University of Virginia invites
applications for a postdoctoral Research Associate to begin in
January 2014. The successful candidate will work with Prof.
Xiaochao Zheng and in the area of experimental nuclear physics
with a focus on experiments at the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV Upgrade
and possibly other innovations related to polarized 3He. The
Jefferson Lab 12 GeV experiments that Prof. Zheng is working on
include measurement of the neutron spin asymmetry A1n in both
Halls A and C, and parity-violation in deep inelastic scattering
(PVDIS) using the new SoLID spectrometer.
<br>
<br>
This is a one year appointment; however appointments may be
renewed for additional one- or two-year extensions, contingent
upon available funding and satisfactory performance. The position
can be stationed in either Charlottesville or Jefferson Lab, but
frequent travel between the two locations will be needed. <br>
<br>
The completion of a Ph.D. degree in experimental nuclear or high
energy physics is required by the appointment start date.
Experience in detector development with a focus on electromagnetic
calorimeters, polarized 3He target work, GEANT-based simulations,
and supervising students at both undergrad and graduate levels are
highly preferred. The candidate must be able to lead and manage
research projects independently.
<br>
<br>
To apply, please submit a candidate profile on-line through
Jobs@UVA (<a href="https://jobs.virginia.edu">https://jobs.virginia.edu</a>)
and attach the following: a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the
contact information for three professional references; search on
posting number 0613286. <br>
<br>
Review of applications will begin on December 15, 2013; however,
the position will remain open until filled.
