Post Doctoral Research Associate, Old Dominion University

 

The Experimental Nuclear Physics group of the Department of Physics at Old Dominion University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate. The successful candidate will dedicate half of his/her effort to a new initiative to simulate and prototype a Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov (DIRC) detector for particle ID in a future Electron Ion Collider.  This project is in collaboration with Jefferson Lab, Catholic University, and GSI, Darmstadt Germany, with Charles Hyde as Principal Investigator at Old Dominion University.

 

In March 2012 the candidate will also assume the management of the computing facility of the Old Dominion University Experimental Nuclear Physics group. The computing facility currently has 24 64-bit and 10 32-bit processors running linux (PCs) or unix (Mac) with a common total disk storage of 30 TB.  The position is expected to give some flexibility to work on ongoing research projects.  Our group (consisting of Profs. M.

Amaryan, S. Bültmann, G. Dodge, C. Hyde, S. Kuhn, and L. Weinstein) is one of the largest university groups at Jefferson Lab. We are also working on elastic and diffractive pp scattering with STAR at RHIC. For more information, see http://www.physics.odu.edu/nucexpt/.

 

A Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics, particle physics, or related field is required.  The position is for one year initially, with a possibility of continuation.  Submit a letter of application, curriculum vita, and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent directly to Old Dominion University Research Foundation, P.O. Box 6369, Norfolk, VA
