Postdoctoral Appointee in Nuclear Theory Group, (Ref. # 21109-29)
The Nuclear Theory Group at the Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter of Indiana University is seeking to fill two postdoctoral research associate positions in theoretical nuclear, hadronic, or astrophysics. The Nuclear Theory Group consists of five faculty, two postdoctoral associates and several graduate students and has vibrant and active research programs. Current main research directions include: hadronic physics, QCD, amplitude analysis, heavy ion physics, and dense matter in nuclear astrophysics.
These efforts are headquartered within the Indiana University Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter http://ceem.indiana.edu/ . More information may be found at:
http://ceem.indiana.edu/nucleartheory.shtml .
The heavy ion physics research focuses on the theoretical understanding of hot and dense QCD matter as well as phenomenological studies of RHIC and LHC heavy ion collisions that create such matter in laboratories. These activities are strongly connected with the experimental programs at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider of the Brookhaven National Laboratory (see http://www.bnl.gov/rhic/) and partly supported by the RIKEN BNL Research Center (see http://www.bnl.gov/riken/).
The nuclear astrophysics research focuses on dense matter and how this is probed with photons, gravitational waves, and neutrinos (see http://physics.indiana.edu/~charlie/ ). The research also includes related laboratory experiments on neutron rich matter such as the Lead Radius Experiment (PREX) and large scale molecular dynamics simulations of neutron star crust material.
The amplitude analysis in hadron spectroscopy links experimental data on hadron production through analysis of analytical properties to QCD and effective theories with the goal of extracting and interpreting resonance parameters. This effort provides theoretical support for current and future experiments at BES, COMPASS and the Jefferson Lab.
The duration of the positions is for one year with possible renewal for up to three years. Applicants should send the Curriculum Vitae, publication list, a statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation to:

Postdoctoral Appointee in Medium Energy Nuclear Physics, (Ref. # 21011-14)
The IU experimental nuclear physics group has an active and diverse program, addressing fundamental questions in nuclear and particle physics. Group members are in lead roles in a wide range of experiments, including investigations of the flavor and spin structure of the nucleon using the STAR detector at RHIC, studies of parity violation between nucleons at NIST and SNS, neutrino measurements at Fermilab and WIPP, neutron decay at NIST and LANSCE, and searches for electric dipole moments. Local facilities include a 200 MeV light ion cyclotron and a low energy neutron source, which can be used for detector development and testing. The laboratory also provides excellent personnel infrastructure, allowing strong participation in major off-site projects. Opportunities are available on all major research projects.
Initial appointments as a postdoctoral research associate will be for one year, with possible renewal for up to two additional years. A Ph.D. in experimental subatomic physics is required. Applications for postdoctoral positions are accepted on a continuing basis, and starting dates can be adjusted to suit the situation of the candidates. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Dr. Rex Tayloe (rtayloe@indiana.edu) for additional information.

ENRICHED XENON OBSERVATORY POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (Ref. 21103-02)
The Indiana University Experimental Nuclear Physics group seeks a highly
motivated and dynamic candidate for a postdoctoral research associate, beginning
immediately or at a negotiated time, to join its efforts on the EXO experiment to
search for double beta decay of 136Xe. The EXO‐200 detector is installed at the
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, NM and has just completed an
engineering run in Dec 2010 with data taking expected to resume before the end of
Feb 2011. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or high energy
particle physics and demonstrate experience in physics analysis and detector
hardware. The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting EXO‐200
data taking efforts at WIPP and take an active role EXO‐200 data analysis. In
addition, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to help with R&D efforts
for the next phase of EXO at IU.
Initial appointment as a postdoctoral research associate will be for one year with
the possibility of renewal for up to two years upon the availability of funds.
Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Dr. Lisa Kaufman at
ljkauf@indiana.edu or 812‐855‐2878 for further information. Applicants should
submit a letter of application (please note ref #21103‐02 in your letter), a
curriculum vitae including a list of publications, and arrange for three letters of
reference to be sent by email or hardcopy to
