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>

<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-right:0px;margin-left:0px">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.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-right:0px;margin-left:0px">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.</p>
