RESEARCH ASSOCIATE AT DUKE UNIVERSITY</span>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">The Medium Energy
Physics Group at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory,
and at Duke University invites applications for a Postdoctoral
Research Associate position. The group has research interests
which include studies of nucleon structure at the High
Intensity Gamma Source (HIGS) facility at the Duke University
Free Electron Laser Laboratory and at Jefferson Lab, e.g. a
precise measurement of the proton charge radius in Hall B at
Jefferson Lab; the transverse-momentum-dependent parton
distribution functions (TMD) studies employing polarized <sup>3</sup>He
and NH<sub>3</sub> targets, and the proposed SoLID device in
Hall A with a 12-GeV CEBAF at Jefferson Lab; the Compton
scattering experiments at HIGS to extract the nucleon
polarizabilities; and searches of exotic QCD states at
Jefferson Lab. The group is joining an experiment on a
precision measurement of the eta radiative decay width via the
Primakoff effect in Hall D at Jefferson Lab, and is involved
in the development of TMD physics at a future electron-ion
collider. The successful candidate is expected to contribute
significantly to the physics programs as well as to the SoLID
detector.</span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">We are looking for
candidates who can make creative and important contributions
to our program. A PhD in experimental nuclear or particle
physics or related fields is required. The initial appointment
is for one year, which can commence immediately. Based on
mutual satisfaction and continued funding, the possibility for
extension exists for two additional years. Applicants should
submit a vita and brief statement of research interests, and
should have three letters of recommendation sent to Academic
