sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[Sevil Salur <salur AT physics.rutgers.edu>]

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rutgers University invites

applications for a postdoctoral position (or research associate) in
experimental nuclear physics, to conduct research with Prof. Sevil Salur.
The researcher is expected to collaborate on studies of relativistic heavy
ion collisions at LHC using the CMS experiment and focusing on the
measurement of high momentum particles, including jet reconstruction, to
study the properties of deconfined quark-gluon matter. Continuing to do
research with RHIC experiments is also possible. The position is
initially for two years, starting as soon as the position is filled, and can be
renewed based upon satisfactory performance and availability of funding.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics or expect to receive one before
their start date.

Applications consisting of a curriculum vitae,  publication list,  and a
brief (1-2 page) description of research interests and accomplishments
should be sent to salur AT physics.rutgers.edu by April 15, 2016. Applicants
should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent via
e-mail by the same date.
