POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE POSITIONS
LABORATORY FOR NUCLEAR SCIENCE
MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY


The Laboratory for Nuclear Science at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology invites applications for postdoctoral associate positions
with the Nuclear Interactions Group.

The research of the Nuclear Interactions Group involves the study of
nuclei and nucleons with electrons. The research is carried out at the
MIT Bates Linear Accelerator Center, the 850 MeV electron microtron at
Mainz, Germany, and at the Thomas Jefferson Nationaly Accelerator Facility
TJNAF (formally CEBAF) in Newport News, Virginia. At Bates, the Group
is collaborating in experiments which measure polarization observables
in the studies of (e,e'p) reactions, utilizing a proton polarimeter with
polarized and unpolarized electron beams. In addition, the group is
getting ready to utilize four newly-built spectrometers in out-of-plane
geometries to measure interference structure functions in (e,e'p reactions).
At Mainz, studies of the many-body currents in few-body systems have began.
These studies will continue on both few-body and complex systems. At TJNAF,
the Nuclear Interactions Group is heavily involved in the programs in
Hall A and Hall B. Construction of the high-precision tracking chambers
for the 4-GeV spectrometers in Hall A has been completed and emphasis has
shifted to comissioning of the hall and the first experiment. For Hall B,
a high pressure gas target as well as beam monitoring devices are being
built. The physics issues being addressed include multi-particle currents
and correlations in nuclei, studies of the nucleon, two- and few-body
systems and the GDH sum-rule. The activities at all three laboratories
fit within an integrated research program.
