The successful candidate will become an integral part of the Medium Energy group in the Relativistic Nuclear Collisions program at LBNL. The group has an active research program at Jefferson Lab (JLab) and is preparing for the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Jefferson Lab activities include high-energy studies of nuclear structure at the hadronic and partonic level, measurements of nucleon form factors and two-photon exchange, color transparency, SIDIS measurement, and tagged measurements of nucleon and meson structure. Opportunities to propose and execute experiments, analyze data, and perform phenomenological studies to address important questions in hadronic physics. In addition, the group is involved in developing tracking for novel detectors at JLab and the EIC, detector simulations and detector R&D, and in developing future physics programs.
What You Will Do:
- Participate in one or more ongoing or near-future experimental campaigns at Jefferson Lab,
- Contribute to the RNC effort for the future Electron-Ion Collider.
- Analysis of related instrument and experiment data.
- Report research results in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
What is Required:
- A recent Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or high-energy physics, or a closely related field.
- Experience with modern data analysis, simulation, and computing.
- Proficiency in written and oral dissemination of scientific results.
- Ability to travel to experimental sites, collaboration meetings, workshops and conferences.
Desired Qualifications:
- Ability to advise and coach student assistants in research.
For Consideration, please apply with the following application materials:
- Curriculum Vitae and Cover letter.
- Statement of research experience and interests (2-page maximum)
- Reference Letters (recommended) - Arrange to have at least 2 letters of reference submitted to John Arington at jarrington@lbl.gov
For full consideration, please apply by September 10, 2024. The position will remain open until it’s filled.
