The Solid Polarized Target group at the University of Virginia
invites applications for a post-doctoral research associate
position, to start in early 2018. Our group currently has three
senior members, two post-doctoral research associates, and 3
graduate students. <br>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<br>
We are the leading domestic University-based solid polarized
target research group and actively pursue R&D in
evaporation and dilution refrigerators, superconducting
magnets, NMR systems and the dynamic nuclear polarization of
target materials.
<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will join our efforts on the
polarized Seaquest experiment (E1039) at Fermilab and at
Jefferson Lab where we are have commitments in multiple halls.
The ultimate aim of our program is to understand the structure
of nucleons and nuclei. The associate will expected to travel
for various, and possibly extended, periods to Jefferson Lab
and Fermilab.
<br>
<br>
The successful applicant will acquire the skills needed to
contribute to research with polarized targets and
nuclear/particle spin-physics analysis as well as play a
leading role in the preparation and data collection of one or
more of our experiments. They will be expected to propose new
experiments. <br>
<br>
A Ph.D. in experimental or theoretical nuclear, particle, or
high-energy physics (or closely related field) is required
before the start date. Applicants must have good written and
verbal communication skills as indicated by scientific
publications in preeminent refereed journals, conference
presentations, etc. and must possess a general knowledge of
nuclear and particle physics.
<br>
<br>
Experience/expertise in one or more of the following areas is
strongly desired: Physics of medium- or high-energy electron
scattering; advanced statistical analysis techniques; previous
analysis of asymmetry data; experience with high vacuum and
cryogenics, polarization technologies, and scientific software
development experience with one or more of the following:
GEANT4, Fluka, C++, Python and LabView.
