Job Description:<br>
<br>
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to work on
precisions tests of the Standard Model with the Experimental Nuclear
Physics Group at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The
successful candidate will work primarily on the new muon g-2
experiment E989 at Fermilab. This exciting experiment aims at a
four-fold improved measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of
the muon to an accuracy of 0.14 ppm. Comparison with theoretical
predictions allows a precision test of the Standard Model, with
outstanding sensitivity to new physics at the TeV-scale. UMass has
responsibilities for precision NMR-based magnetic field measurements
and analysis, and other aspects of the experiment. More details can
be found at <a href="http://muon-g-2.fnal.gov">http://muon-g-2.fnal.gov</a><br>
<br>
The position is for one year initially, with the possibility of
renewal for up to three years upon mutual agreement and availability
of funds. The position is based initially at UMass, then Fermilab. <br>
<br>
Requirements:<br>
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in experimental physics with experience
in precision measurements in atomic, molecular, nuclear, or particle
physics preferred. <br>
