</span>is a multi-disciplinary center supported by the Commonwealth of Virginia focusing on the emerging science of nuclear femtography.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Nuclear femtography is the mapping of the spatial distribution and motion of the quarks and gluons within the nucleus at the sub-femtoscale, using both data from experiments, and first principles computation in QCD. The realization of this science requires
a multi-disciplinary approach encompassing experimental and theoretical nuclear physics, applied mathematics, and computational science including machine learning, visualization, and calculations at the frontier of exa-scale computing</span><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>

<span style="font-family: "BookAntiqua", serif; color: black;">The successful candidate will play a leadership role within the center, contributing to the establishment of a coherent approach/framework to facilitate exploit input from theorists, experimentalists
and computer scientists in order to advance the study of the internal structure of the nucleon and nuclei.
</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: black;">This includes 3D imaging arising from the Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), Gravitational Form Factors (GFFs) and Transverse Momentum Dependent Distributions (TMDs) as they emerge
from deeply exclusive processes, deep inclusive processes and first-principles computation.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
