POSTDOC with INTERMEDIATE ENERGY GROUP
at UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH
for Jefferson Lab EXPERIMENTS
A postdoc opening with the University of Pittsburgh group working
at Jefferson Lab (CEBAF) is available immediately. The group is
presently composed of 2 professors (James Mueller and Steven Dytman),
1 postdoc, and an average of 2-3 grad students. The group's research
is presently focused on various aspects of experiments associated with
the CLAS detector at CEBAF. Our first experiments are scheduled to
run in fall of 1997, but will continue for a number of years.
The first experiments will study the electroproduction of N*
resonances from proton and neutron targets. The experiments
will measure cross sections for a large variety of final states
with the focus of this group on final states containing eta
mesons. In 1998, associated measurements with polarized beam
and target are scheduled. We have submitted a new proposal to
study photoproduction of phi mesons from a proton target with
linearly polarized photons and measuring the phi polarization from
the K+K- angular distribution. Other proposals are in preparation.
We are also heavily involved in the partial wave analysis of CLAS
data, the modeling of the experimental observables to determine
the underlying photocoupling parameters.
The successful applicant will be expected to work on the CLAS
experiments mentioned above. A PhD with extensive experience in
intermediate energy or high energy experiments is required.
Strong familiarity with data analysis (both high and low level),
acceptance studies, and detector monitoring, calibration, and maintenance
(specifically drift chambers) is desirable.
The term of the appointment will be initially one year, but an
extension to three years is possible if mutually agreeable.
The residence of the successful applicant could be in Newport
News, VA (where Jefferson Lab is located) or in Pittsburgh. The appointment
will start on or before January 1, 1998, but can start later in
unusual situations. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, list
of publications, statement of research interests, and arrange for
three letters of recommendation to be sent to the address given below.
Email and phone contact can be made with Mueller (mueller+@pitt.edu,
412-624-1566) or Dytman (dytman+@pitt.edu, 412-624-9244).
