Field of Interest:cond-mat, hep-ex, nucl-ex, physics.ins-det, physics-other
Experiments:Vitreous State Laboratory and Jefferson Lab 12 GeV
Deadline: 2017-02-03
Region: North America
Job description:
Experimental and theoretical research at The Vitreous State Laboratory (VSL), a premier applied science facility on campus, covers various areas of materials science from cutting edge nanoscale research with the state-of-the-art facilities to large scale production techniques. Theoretical efforts include the calculation of the full band structures of crystals and the density of states fundamental to transport and thermoelectric properties and optical transitions in solids.
Experimental nuclear physics at CUA takes advantage of the proximity to Jefferson Lab (www.jlab.org), the prime facility for exploring the quark-gluon structure of visible matter, in Newport News, VA. The research uses Jefferson Lab’s intermediate-energy photon and electron beams coupled with large particle detectors. The construction of these detectors is most often done on campus at CUA using the strong synergy between material science and particle detection techniques. One of our recent success stories is the construction of the SHMS aerogel Cherenkov detector, which was featured as a major highlight in the 2015 US NSAC Long Range Plan.
More details about our research and PhD/M.S. programs can be found here: https://userweb.jlab.org/~hornt/CUA/CUA_ad_final.pdf.
Funding is available through our external research grants, the VSL, and the university. The successful candidate will receive a competitive and guaranteed research assistantship and tuition waiver.
For further information, please contact Prof. Ian Pegg (ianp@vsl.cua.edu) or Prof. Tanja Horn (hornt@cua.edu) directly.
