<span style="font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(73, 73, 73);">The Physics Department at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, Virginia, USA) is seeking candidates for two postdoctoral research scholar positions to work with the EXCLAIM collaboration, including
scientists from UVA, ODU, MSU, NMSU, Tufts, and other universities, who are active in both theoretical and experimental physics, lattice QCD, and computer science. The collaboration’s main interest is to develop new techniques with AI/ML aimed at extracting
information on the QCD next-generation characterization of the 3D structure of nucleons and nuclei emerging from deeply virtual exclusive processes and high energy diffractive scattering experiments at the upgraded 12 GeV Jefferson Lab accelerator and at the
planned Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). <o:p> </o:p></span></p>
