Job Description

The Medium Energy Group in the Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory invites applications for a junior staff position in experimental medium energy nuclear physics. We welcome all applicants with a background in experimental medium or high energy nuclear/particle physics.

We aim to appoint at the rank of Assistant Physicist (Argonne’s equivalent of a tenure-track Assistant Professor), anticipated to start as early as September 2024.

The Medium Energy Group currently consists of eight staff members, two engineers, and several postdocs and students. Our program includes:

• Electron scattering experiments at Jefferson Lab in Hall A, B, and C, including CLAS12 and SoLID.
• Developing the scientific and experimental program for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
• Drell-Yan experiments at Fermilab and the MUSE experiment at PSI.

Additionally, we have a comprehensive program in detector technology, focusing on super-conducting nanowire detectors and pixelized MCP-PMTs. We are leading the design and construction of the Barrel Imaging Calorimeter for ePIC at the EIC, collaborating closely with the Theory and Accelerator R&D groups in the Physics Division, as well as with the High-Energy Physics and Material Science Divisions

Education and Experience Requirements

• PhD in Nuclear Hadronic Physics or Particle Physics or a closely related field
• Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork.
• Preferred minimum of 2 years of research experience
• Preferred: previous research program aligns with the facilities funded by the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Physics, such as Jefferson Lab and Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Applications received by Friday, March 15th, 2024, will receive our fullest consideration. We look forward to your application and the possibility of you joining our innovative team.

Interested applicants must complete the following steps:

• Complete the Workday application and profile
• Email a curriculum vitae and a statement of research interests to Paula Dahlberg (pdahlberg AT anl.gov)
• Arrange for four letters of recommendation to be emailed to the same address.
• Please send all application materials in PDF, MS Word, or plain text format. You can also reach Paula for any questions. 

*Please note that only applications submitted through the Argonne website will be considered

RD2: Bachelors and 5+ years, Masters and 3+ years, or a PhD, or equivalent
