Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics
Ohio University

The medium energy physics group at Ohio University seeks an outstanding individual with expertise in experimental physics using few GeV electron and photon beams. The OU group has a long-standing commitment in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Laboratory (TJNAF) and also has significant commitments at other facilities in Japan. The candidate should have experience with analysis of reactions that probe the structure of the nucleon and be willing to develop new ideas and proposals that will further probe this non-perturbative range of QCD. Experience with GEANT simulations and demonstrated computational skills is highly desired. Familiarity with hardware aspects of particle detectors is a definite plus. The successful candidate will take up residence near to TJNAF and will support the Ohio experimental group through on-site contributions to the development of the CLAS12 detector as well as analysis and publication of existing data as part of the CLAS Collaboration.

Inquiries and applications, including CV, list of publications, and a brief list of research and interests should be emailed to Ken Hicks at hicks@ohio.edu or by mail to Department of Physics & Astronomy, Ohio University, Athens, OH 45701. Letters of reference may be sent (email or mail) to the same address. We seek a candidate with a commitment in working effectively with students, faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds. Ethnic minorities and other underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Ohio University is an AA/EO employer.
