for Nuclear Femtography in the pursuit of optimized information extraction and modeling using machine learning tools. The researcher will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with experimental and theoretical support from around the world as well as
locally at UVA and Fermilab to develop new projects, proposals and publications. In addition, the researcher will take on a senior role in our laboratory at UVA. They will help train graduate and undergraduate students in the areas of dynamic nuclear polarization
