Postdoctoral Research Associate Search at USC - a message from Yordanka Ilieva
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Experimental Intermediate Energy Nuclear Physics
University of South Carolina
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of South Carolina invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the field of experimental intermediate nuclear physics to begin in Fall 2009. Our group presently consists of five experimentalists, two postdoctoral research associates and ten graduate students. We are leading a strong research program on baryon spectroscopy, in-medium modifications of hadron properties, and the transition from meson-baryon to constituent quark degrees of freedom in exclusive reactions. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in our ongoing projects: the analysis and publication of existing Hall-B data and the development and construction of the Time-of-Flight detector for CLAS12, to contribute to our 12-GeV research at Jefferson Lab, and to develop her/his own ideas for new experiments. The postdoctoral associate will also be expected to supervise both graduate and undergraduate students.
The appointment will be initially for one year and is renewable based on mutual agreement and continued funding.
Applicants should have a PhD in experimental nuclear or particle physics and experience with calibration and analysis of data. Experience with JLab analysis and detector hardware is a plus. Review of applications will begin on 1 August 2009 and will continue until the position is filled.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research experience and
interests, a list of publications, and arrange for three letters of reference to be
sent to:
