Job Title		High Energy Nuclear Physics Postdoc
Location		Los Alamos, NM, US
Organization Name		P-25/Subatomic Physics
		What You Will Do The Physics Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory invites outstanding applicants for postdoctoral positions in the High Energy Nuclear Physics team of the Subatomic Physics Group (P-25) to work on SpinQuest with a polarized target (E1039).  LANL is the lead institution on the experiment E1039 which will measure the Sivers function of the sea-quarks using the 120 GeV beam from Fermilab’s Main Injector. The successful applicant is expected to be stationed at Fermilab for the first 2 years and acquire the skills needed to take on a leading role in E1039 tasks, which may involve one or more of the following: online monitoring, operation/maintenance of the drift chambers, trigger system, target operation, data acquisition as well as the physics simulation and analysis. The candidate must have or expect to complete soon a Ph.D. in physics, preferably in high energy nuclear or particle physics, and it must be less than 5 years since the Ph.D. was granted.  The postdoctoral term is for 2 years, with an option to renew for a third year.
		What You Need Minimum Job Requirements:   - experience with data analysis tools typically used for nuclear and particle physics - experience with detector operation and R&D - paper publication record in high energy nuclear physics or particle physics   Desired Skills: - good oral and written communication - FPGA programming, or willingness to learn FPGA programming - Experience with slow control system like EPICS or LabVIEW Education:  The applicant is required to have a Ph.D. in high-energy particle or nuclear physics within the past five years, or soon to be completed. Notes to Applicants:  Applicants should submit a resume and a brief description of research interests to the online application page. Reference letters will be asked at a later stage of the selection process. This position does not require a security clearance, U.S. citizenship or residency.
