RNC is also leading the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program and particularly working on the preparation for the BES phase-II program which will take place in the next few years.

What You Will Do:

• Analysis of existing STAR physics and publication of their results.

• Contribute to the HFT data analysis.

• Contribute to upcoming BES-II data analysis and detector calibrations in STAR.

• Report results to supervisor.

• Exercise independent judgment and contribute in an original manner at the professional level.

• Publish papers/reports in refereed journals, and make oral presentations of own work.

• Mentor students in their research at LBNL and UC Berkeley.

Additional Responsibilities as needed:
