We should have a tangible and funded presence for AI/ML, in the physics department, or postings like this will be poaching our people and prospective people

Faculty Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics and Artificial Intelligence
The
Physics Department at The Catholic University of America seeks to fill a
tenure-track position in Experimental Nuclear Physics and Artificial
Intelligence, to begin in Fall 2023.
Our
research focuses on detector design and carrying out and further
developing our experimental program at the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV (JLab)
and the US-based Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), as well as exploring new
avenues with Artificial Intelligence for Nuclear Physics. The CUA group
has a strong history of involvement at JLab, and in particular studies
of the multi-dimensional structure of hadrons and the design and
construction of large-scale detectors. Our JLab science program aims at
deepening the understanding of the lightest mesons – the pions and kaons
- their form factors and structure functions, and at providing
measurements to validate the framework for 3D (spatial) hadron imaging
and the intriguing possibility of discovery of exotic mesons with
gluons. CUA built and is responsible for the SHMS Aerogel Cherenkov
detector, leads the construction of the Neutral Particle Spectrometer
(NPS) in Hall C, and is involved in the DIRC detector in GlueX at JLab.
Artificial Intelligence can provide new insights and discoveries from
experimental data and there is a clear synergy with our studies of
multi-dimensional hadron structure at JLab. We have been incorporating
AI into the design optimization from materials to complex detectors, as
featured in the EIC Conceptual Design and EIC Yellow Report. These
efforts benefit from strong collaboration with IAIFI/MIT and developers
of the software frameworks for EIC detector simulations. We are also
engaged in the educational efforts of AI4EIC, e.g., through Hackathons
and Schools. The CUA group has been involved for over a decade in the
development of the EIC science program and detector research and
development. Our science program aims at deepening the understanding of
the origin of hadron mass, one of the main science motivations of the
EIC as identified by the National Academy of Sciences report, through
the emergent structure of the lightest mesons – the pions and kaons. Our
group has been leading the design and development of homogeneous EM
Calorimeters and particle identification detectors for the EIC. Our
efforts include the development of novel detector materials, e.g.,
scintillating glass and aerogel composites.
We
are searching mainly for candidates with a primary interest in the
program of hadronic and nuclear physics carried out at JLab, as well as
an interest in the US-based EIC. Experience in data science and design
optimization leveraging on Artificial Intelligence is beneficial. The
successful candidate will have a strong commitment to excellence in
teaching and will be expected to build a strong research program that
will enhance the current Nuclear Physics program at the Catholic
University of America. We plan to hire at the assistant professor level,
but will also consider particularly qualified more senior applicants.
We
seek candidates who understand, are enthusiastic about, and will make a
significant contribution to the mission of the University, which can be
found here: https://www.cua.edu/about-cua/mission-statement.cfm].
Applicants
should have a Ph.D. in physics or a related field, have demonstrated
the ability to initiate and lead research, have an established record of
publications in scientific journals, and have good teaching skills.
Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, three reference letters, a
publication record including citation information, research plan,
teaching plan, and a one- to two-page personal statement indicating how
the candidate, through her or his research, teaching, and service, would
make a distinctive contribution to advancing the University’s mission
and to the vision of Catholic education outlined in the Apostolic
Constitution on Catholic Universities Ex Corde Ecclesiae.
The University will perform background checks on all new faculty hires prior to making the final offer of employment.
