Field of Interest:physics.ins-det
Experiments:GlueX, Electron Ion Collider
Deadline: 2017-05-31
Region: North America
Job description:
The Physics Department of the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate in the experimental nuclear physics group. This position presents opportunity to work on two projects, currently running the GlueX Experiment in Hall D at Jefferson Lab and future Electron Ion Collider.
The successful applicant is expected to make significant contribution to the data analysis with the GlueX hadronic physics program, which is currently ongoing. The applicant will also have opportunity to take part in the construction and commissioning of a new DIRC particle identification detector, which will provide pion/kaon separation to search for exotic mesons containing strange quarks.
The second part of the position will provide the opportunity to play important role in a R&D program of PID system for the future Electron Ion Collider. It focuses on pushing the DIRC technology beyond the state of the arc by developing the High Performance DIRC detector. It will provide the opportunity to work both on simulations as well as a wide range of hardware activities.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or particle physics. Experience with hardware and data analysis is desirable. Candidates must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research statement, and provide names and email addresses of three references who will be contacted to submit a letter of reference.
Inquiries can be sent to Greg Kalicy at kalicy@cua.edu.
