Experimental Nuclear Physics Group<br>
Department of Physics<br>
North Carolina A&T State University<br>
<br>
The Experimental Nuclear Physics Group at the North Carolina A&T State<br>
University is accepting applications for a postdoctoral research associate<br>
position to work on our group’s experiments at Jefferson Laboratory<br>
(JLab). Currently, our group is playing a leading role in the PRad<br>
Collaboration at JLab to perform the second, much upgraded experiment<br>
(PRad-II, E12-20-004) to improve the total experimental uncertainty by a<br>
factor of four for the proton radius to address the “proton radius puzzle”<br>
in hadronic and atomic physics. Our group also playing a leading role in<br>
the development of a new experiment to search for hidden sector low mass<br>
particles, in particular the hypothetical X17 particle, recently observed<br>
in several low energy nuclear physics experiments. This experiment was<br>
recently approved by PAC50 in July 2022, also with a high scientific<br>
rating (E12-21-003). Our group is playing a leading role in all stages of<br>
the preparation, installation and execution of these experiments. In<br>
addition, the successful candidate will actively participate in the data<br>
analysis process of the experiment to measure the<br>
η→γγ decay width recently performed in Hall D at JLab<br>
(E12-10-011).<br>
The successful candidate will be located at Jefferson Laboratory and<br>
expected to take leading roles in: (a) data analysis; (b) preparation and<br>
execution of new experiments (PRad-II and X17-Search) in Hall B at JLab;<br>
(c) preparation of new experimental proposals. Applicants must have a<br>
recent Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or high energy particle physics and<br>
experience working with hardware and software for accelerator based<br>
experiments, as well as an extensive knowledge of data analysis<br>
techniques. Review of applications will start from now and will continue<br>
to accept applications until the position is filled.<br>
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of<br>
research interests and experience, and arrange to have three letters of<br>
recommendations emailed to:<br>
