<div class="WordSection1">Postdoctoral Research Associate Position
in experimental nuclear Physics: University of Michigan<o:p></o:p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The University of Michigan medium energy
group invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research
Associate Position. The successful applicant will have the
opportunity to join our ongoing Drell-Yan effort with the
SeaQuest collaboration at Fermilab and our MUSE effort with
the MUSE collaboration at PSI in Switzerland. SeaQuest has
completed its running with unpolarized liquid hydrogen and
deuterium targets and is now setting up to run with polarized
targets to study the u_bar and d_bar Sivers functions and
their connection to the orbital angular momentum of light sea
quarks. The successful applicant will be involved in the
installation and running of the polarized frozen ammonia
target and play a leading role in the analysis of the data.
There is also an opportunity to participate in the MUSE
experiment at PSI that aims to resolve the unexplained large
discrepancies of the proton charge radius measurements made
with muonic hydrogen and electron-proton scattering. The
successful applicant will be involved in the running of the
liquid hydrogen target and play a leading role in the analysis
of the data.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although the successful candidate will be
stationed at the University of Michigan, frequent travel and
extended stays at Fermilab and periodic travel to PSI is
expected. Previous experience with cryogenic targets and
especially with polarized solid targets will be advantageous.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in
experimental nuclear or particle physics. The position is
available starting 8/1/2018, or at a later, mutually agreed
date. The initial appointment is for one year, renewable by
mutual agreement for up to three years. The University of
Michigan is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
