The Medium Energy Physics (MEP) group at Argonne National Laboratory invites applications for multiple experimental postdoctoral researcher positions. Depending on your background, your portfolio may include work at Jefferson Lab, the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) program, detector research and development, and applications of AI in nuclear physics. Applications received by Tuesday, November 4 will receive full consideration.

Key Responsibilities

• AI-ready data and analysis for the ePIC Barrel Imaging Calorimeter and our Jefferson Lab program
• Support for the PRad-II and X17 experiments scheduled to run in CY26
• Lead role in our MCP-PMT R&D program, with emphasis on device characterization and QA

You may combine these focus areas with other ongoing projects in our group.

About Argonne and the MEP Group

Argonne National Laboratory, situated near Chicago, is a prominent multidisciplinary science and engineering research center. The Medium Energy Group in the Physics Division, comprises eight staff members, two engineers, and postdocs and students. Our program spans electron-scattering experiments at Jefferson Lab in Hall A, B, and C, including CLAS12 and SoLID. We have led SeaQuest and are involved in SpinQuest at Fermilab and the MUSE experiment at PSI. Our hardware program includes the ePIC Barrel Imaging Calorimeter, and instrumentation R&D such as a polarized lithium-ion source for EIC, superconducting nanowire particle detectors and pixelized MCP-PMTs.

Position Requirements

• Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in experimental nuclear or particle physics or a related field
• Match at least one of the following profiles:

• Experience with modern AI methods for nuclear physics or high-energy physics detector data; or
• Hands-on work with PMTs, SiPMs, or MCP-PMTs (test-beam or bench characterization experience is a plus); or
• Prior experience working on Jefferson Lab or RHIC experiments

Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork

Application Materials

• Curriculum Vitae (CV)
• Cover Letter describing research experience and fit for the role
• Contact information for three references to be sent to Kaitlin Raimondi at PHYHR AT anl.gov
