job announcements of interest to sPHENIX collaborators

["Huang, Jin" <jhuang AT bnl.gov>]

Dear Colleagues:

I am a faculty member at the University of Virginia and my research is 
focused primarily on the nucleon spin structure and test of the Standard 
Model using electron scattering at Jefferson Lab. I am looking for a new 
postdoc for my group. The official announcement is given below that includes 
the application link.

Please share the information with potential candidates. The position is open 
until filled.

Thanks,

Xiaochao


The Physics Department at the University of Virginia seeks applicants for a 
Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the area of Experimental 
Medium-Energy Nuclear and Particle Physics. The group’s research interest is 
on studies of the nucleon structure, the strong interaction, and precision 
measurements of parity-violation electron scattering. The group is involved 
in a number of ongoing and near-future experiments in Halls A, B, and C of 
the nearby Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab). The 
longer-term future of the group will be the SoLID experiments planned for 
JLab’s Hall A, as well as physics at the electron ion collider (EIC).

The position will involve data analysis of a number of recently completed and 
ongoing JLab experiments and detector beam tests, supporting JLab operation, 
development of new physics ideas in the form of experimental proposals, and 
preparation for SoLID experiments. The successful candidate will be stationed 
at JLab. The position will be for one year; however, the appointment may be 
renewed for an additional two, one-year increments, contingent upon available 
funding and satisfactory performance.

QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
The candidate must hold a PhD in Physics at the time of appointment, and 
preferably be within 3 years of completion of PhD. The candidate must have a 
background in experimental nuclear and/or particle physics, above-average 
communication skill and appropriate writing skills, and be willing to work 
with a large collaboration. Preferred qualification includes a strong desire 
to learn and to lead, and be able to guide both graduate and undergraduate 
students in research on a daily basis.

   and attach a cover letter, a CV/resume, and a brief description of 
research interest and philosophy. The CV and/or the research statement should 
include a description of past accomplishment in data analysis, hardware work, 
simulation, dissemination of results (publications and talks), and 
demonstration of creativity and innovation if applicable. Applicants should 
arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent [through the 
application website].

Please note that multiple documents can be uploaded in the box.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  Review of applications will begin on July 8, 2023.
