Experimental Nuclear and Particle Physics - Postdoc at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Laboratory for Nuclear Science at MIT invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position with the Hadronic Physics Group.

 

The successful candidate will join our ongoing research program studying in-medium structure functions and short-range correlations in nuclei using hard reactions. The research program is carried out mainly at the Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory (JLab), with future activities planned for the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab and new proton accelerators in Europe, Japan, and/or China. 

 

The group has an active and diverse research program involving neutron detector R&D; analysis of existing data from recent experiments; execution of approved experiments in Halls A, B, and C of Jefferson Lab; Phenomenology; and development of new experiments. The successful candidate will be encouraged to lead different parts of the existing program, develop future experiments, and enjoy the opportunity to supervise and work with our graduate students. 

 

 

 

- A recent Ph.D. in nuclear or particle physics. Exceptional candidates with Ph.D.s in other areas and an interest in medium-energy nuclear physics are encouraged to apply. 

 

- The position requires residence in the vicinity of Jefferson Lab, located in Newport News VA and periodic travel to MIT.
