The Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography at University of North Carolina Wilmington invites applications for a postdoctoral position with its experimental nuclear physics group.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>The research activities of the group focus on precision tests of low-energy QCD and searches for new physics beyond the standard model via the
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">light pseudoscalar meson
</span>decay measurements at Jefferson Lab. The group seeks a postdoctoral research associate working in the GlueX collaboration in Hall D and<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>focusing on the PrimEx-eta and the JLab Eta Factory (JEF) experiments. The successful candidate will be expected to make contributions
<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>in the areas of: (1) performing the PrimEx-eta experiment and analyzing the data to extract the
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">ç</span> radiative decay width via the Primakoff effect; (2) developing an upgraded Forward Calorimeter (FCAL-II) with a PWO crystal insert needed by the JEF experiment to search for
various sub-GeV dark gauge boson candidates and new C-violating, P-conserving interactions in the
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">ç and ç’ decays</span>; and (3) conducting Monte Carlo simulations to optimize the experimental sensitivities. New initiatives, including new experiment development, are also welcome.<o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif">
We seek candidates with strong experimental skills in data analysis, simulation and preferably with some hardware experience. Experience with Root, Geant4, and C++ would be very useful. Candidates with a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics, medium energy,
or high energy physics are encouraged to apply.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>
This is a one-year position and <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>renewable for up to three years,
<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>with the starting date <span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>negotiable. <o:p> </o:p></p>
