The 32th Annual Hampton University Graduate Studies Program

We are pleased to announce a special mini-workshop for graduate students and post-docs:

Physics Careers at HUGS 2017
Monday, June 12, 2017 12:45 - 6pm
Jefferson Lab, CC F113

Registration deadline: 5th June, 2017

"Important notification: Please send your CV and cover letter directly to Alberto Accardi (accardi@jlab.org), Bipasha Chakraborty (bipasha@jlab.org) and Evan McClellan (randallm@jlab.org) even if you have uploaded them while registering for the workshop. Also, you do not need to send these documents for any job ad to Andrey Tarasov (atarasov@jlab.org)."

The space for the second part (mock interview session) of the event is limited to a total of 36 candidates for four parallel sessions. So, apply for the advertised jobs as soon as possible with your CV. We will try to fit you in your preferred session.

This mini-workshop is part of the HUGS 2017 Summer School in nuclear physics, but open to all interested graduate students and post-docs from the Jefferson Lab community.

The workshop is free (but space is limited and registration is required) and intended to offer a perspective on academic and non-academic careers and includes a hands-on session with practical advice on resume and CV writing.

For questions contact the organizers:

The subject of the email should include "HUGS career - your name- your choice of job ad (such as NASA/data science/expt. post-doc/theory post-doc/industry)".

Preferred submission date: Monday, June 5th, 2017
Deadline: Thursday, June 8th, 2017

Experimental
The Old Dominion University Experimental Nuclear Physics group is seeking a postdoctoral associate to help lead the preparation and analysis of experiments at the nearby Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab).

Theory
Perform research in theoretical hadronic and nuclear physics that overlap the JLab scientific program, including the multi-dimensional structure of the nucleon, strong-coupling and lattice QCD, few-body physics and techniques of amplitude analysis.

Tech./Industry
ProTom International, a manufacturer of proton radiotherapy equipment, seeks a physicist who will participate in efforts concerning Technical Commissioning and Validation of a Proton Beam Scanning System.

Data Science
Small but fast growing company needs a data-savvy analyst with a science or technology background (Ph.D. preferred). Looking for ability to learn and use modern Big Data tools (machine learning, knowledge discovery, etc.), flexibility, willingness to learn, team player, ability to communicate well. Challenging, fast-paced environment with big payoff for success.

NASA/Govt.
The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight and win...in air, space and cyberspace. To achieve that mission, the Air Force has a vision of Global Vigilance, Reach and Power. That vision orbits around three core competencies: Developing Airmen, Technology-to-Warfighting and Integrating Operations. Core competencies and distinctive capabilities are based on a shared commitment to three core values -- integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.
