<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">One of the medium energy physics groups in the Department of Physics, School of Science in Hampton University invites applications for a full-time Post-Doctoral Fellow position in support the
group’s efforts in the field of hypernuclear physics, funded by DOE grant. The primary project will be the next group of hypernuclear experiments to be carried out in Hall C at JLab (although not yet scheduled). Currently these experiments are E12-15-008 (study
the </span><span style="color:black">isospin-dependence of the three-body LambdaNN interaction), E12-19-002 (investigate the charge symmetry breaking by measuring the ground state of Lambda-Hydrogan-3 and the first excited state of Lambda-Hydrogan-4 hypernuclei),
and E12-20-013 (study Lambda interactions in heavy nuclear matter with the 208Pb target and produce mass spectroscopy of Lambda-Tl-208 hypernucleus). The group also collaborates in selected hypernuclear experiments at MAMI in Germany and J-PARC in Japan,
as well as participate in and provides support to other ongoing nuclear physics experiments in Hall A and C at JLab. For JLab hypernuclear experiments, the group is heavily involved in the preparation and operation of all the needed detector systems (such
as wire chambers and Cherenkov detectors) and in the data analysis (in particularly the absolute missing mass calibration and optimization of the angular and momentum reconstruction matrices for the electron and kaon spectrometers). These JLab hypernuclear
experiments use custom designed and built spectrometers, PCS Septum magnets, HES spectrometer (the electron arm), and HKS spectrometer (the kaon arm). The group has played and will continue to play key role to the hypernuclear program at JLab. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

and construction of new supports are needed. Collaboration is working closely with JLab to establish this program in Hall C and works toward to have an Experiment Readiness Review within about 1.5 years. The candidate is expected to work on preparation of
all the needed detectors that are already on-site, especially the recommissioning the existing four sets of wire chambers. He/she will learn about these experiments (physics and technique) and work on any needed task that he/she can contribute. At this stage,
these tasks may need only partial his/her working time. </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
