<div dir="ltr">The Physics Department at The Catholic University
of America seeks to fill a tenure-track assistant professor
position in experimental nuclear physics, to begin in August
2018. <b>The application deadline is</b> <b>18 December 2017</b>.<br>
<br>
Our research program focuses on the study of hadron structure
and spectroscopy with electromagnetic probes focused in
Experimental Halls C and D at the Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) -
a flagship US nuclear physics facility in the US. The CUA
research at JLab pushes the energy scale for hard exclusive and
semi-inclusive processes requiring precision and high
luminosity, to validate the foundation of 3D transverse spatial
and momentum imaging. CUA’s research concentrates on the
understanding of the structure of the lightest mesons – pions
and kaons, and the intriguing possibility of discovery of exotic
mesons with gluons. The CUA group has a strong history of
involvement at JLab, and a strong interest in Particle
Identification Detectors, in particular with DIRC detectors,
aerogel detectors, and electromagnetic calorimeters. CUA built
and is responsible for the aerogel Cherenkov detector in Hall C,
leads the construction of the Neutral Particle Spectrometer
(NPS) in Hall C, and is involved in the DIRC detector in Hall D.
We are further active in the development of the Electron Ion
Collider (EIC), a next generation experimental facility, which
would allow for studies of the fundamental gluon structure of
matter, and their relation to the emergence of mass.<br>
<br>
We seek candidates who understand, are enthusiastic about, and
will make a significant contribution to the mission of the
University, which can be found here: <a

<br>
<br>
We are searching mainly for candidates with a primary interest
in the program of hadronic and nuclear physics carried out at
JLab. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to
excellence in teaching and will be expected to build a strong
research program that will enhance the current programs at the
Catholic University of America. We plan to hire at the assistant
professor level, but will also consider particularly qualified
more senior applicants.<br>
<br>
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics or a related field,
have demonstrated the ability to initiate and lead research,
have an established record of publications in scientific
journals, and good teaching skills. Applicants should submit
curriculum vitae, publication record including citation
information, research plan, teaching plan, and a one- to
two-page personal statement indicating how the candidate,
through her or his research, teaching, and service, would make a
distinctive contribution to advancing the University’s mission.<br>
<br>
The University will perform background checks on all new faculty
hires prior to making the final offer of employment. <br>
