Postdoctoral Research Associate Medium Energy Nuclear Physics, Ref. #20709-09

The IU nuclear physics group has an active and diverse program, addressing fundamental questions in nuclear and particle physics. Faculty members currently play leadership 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 in thermal neutron-proton capture at LANSCE, neutrino measurements at Fermilab and DUSEL, 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.Send résumé, bibliography and contact information for three references to:
