=====================================

    POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (Fermilab-based Project)

    The Medium Energy Physics Group at Mississippi State University
    invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position.
    The group's research interests include the study of

    sea quark distributions, the EMC effect, and parton energy loss with
    the Drell-Yan experiment at Fermilab. The group has recently joined
    the polarized Drell-Yan, E1039, experiment at Fermilab to study the
    poorly known gluon transverse momentum distributions using
    J/Psiproduction.

    In addition the group also has a very active program in studies of
    nucleon structure, hadronic physics and fundamental symmetries at
    Jefferson Lab, such as the study of color propagation
    andfragmentation process, the search for the onset of color
    transparency, and precision measurement of charge symmetry violation
    in quark distributions.

    We are looking for candidates who will help lead our effort on
    developing an advanced graphics processing unit (_GPU_) based
    multi-threaded framework for the online data reconstruction and
    monitoring, the commissioning and maintenance of the tracking
    chambers, and the running of the E1039 experiment. The candidate
    could be stationed at Fermilab depending on the running schedule and
    needs of E1039.

    A Ph.D in experimental nuclear or particle physics or related fields
    is required. Preference will be given to candidates with GPU-based
    programming knowledge and experience.The initial appointment is for
    one year, and can start as early as October 1, 2018. The appointment
    can be extended for a maximum of two additional years, based on
    mutual satisfaction and available fund.

    Screening of applications will begin immediately and will continue
    until the position is filled. Applications' documents including a
    curriculum vita, brief statement describing research interests and
    work experience and three recommendation letters should be sent
    electronically to: Prof. Lamiaa El Fassi (le334 at msstate.edu
    <mailto:le334 at msstate.edu>).

    Mississippi State University actively solicits applications from
    minorities, women, and people with disabilities and is an EEO/AA
    employer.
