Two 3-year postdoctoral positions in Experimental Hadron Physics

  The Nuclear and Hadron Physics Group at the University of Glasgow, UK, seeks talented candidates for two Postdoctoral Research Associate positions, each for 3 years, to make leading contributions to the study of nucleon structure. Both positions will be divided between the experimental programme at Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) in Virginia, USA, and R&D for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), to be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York state, USA. 

  JLab is home to a 12 GeV electron beam accelerator and four experimental halls with fixed-target experiments. The JLab experimental programme at Glasgow is focussed on studying hadron structure through hard scattering of electrons from proton and light-nucleus targets in Halls A, B and C and via hadron spectroscopy using a real photon beam in Hall D. The centre-of-mass energies accessible at JLab probe mainly the valence quark region of the nucleon. Access to the quark-gluon sea will be made possible by the EIC, the world’s next major hadron physics facility, the construction of which is due to begin in 2023. It will collide polarised electrons with polarised protons, light ions and a full range of unpolarised heavy nuclei. The project is at the stage of detector R&D and design and the Glasgow group has leadership in both main detector proposals: ATHENA and ECCE.

                The JLab
                    focus of the two RA positions
                    will be on the experimental programmes of Halls A
                    and B, respectively.  The focus for the Hall A
                    position will be the
                    upcoming high Q2
                    nucleon form factor programme with the Super
                    Bigbite Spectrometer (SBS). This will involve
                    installation and commissioning of
                    the detector systems, development of dedicated data
                    analysis and simulation
                    software, and making a significant contribution to
                    the day-to-day running of
                    this challenging experimental programme. The project
                    in Hall B will focus on
                    experiments using the CLAS12 spectrometer, as part
                    of the CLAS collaboration,
                    which will start taking data with a longitudinally
                    polarised target in 2022. It
                    will include data-taking (shifts manning the
                    experiment), quality-checks and
                    calibrations, simulations, data-analysis and
                    preparation of data for publication,
                    as well as the writing of the associated papers and
                    collaboration documents.
                    There’s scope for contributions to the development
                    of particle / event
                    reconstruction software and preparation of
                    proposals.
                 
                The EIC
                    project is currently going
                    through a detector proposal preparation stage. The
                    half of both RA positions
                    which is dedicated to the EIC will be a combination
                    of detector design and
                    optimisation using Geant4-based simulations,
                    including the addition of new
                    detectors to the simulation framework, evaluation of
                    the sensitivity of the EIC
                    towards different processes and potentially
                    development of generators. There is
                    scope for hardware work on a detector prototype.
                 
                The
                    research projects will involve
                    close collaboration with colleagues in other
                    institutes, including
                    Paris-Saclay, France, where one of the project
                    leaders (Daria Sokhan) is
                    currently on leave as Blaise Pascal Chair. 
                 
                The
                    successful candidates should have
                    an experimental background (and
                    a Ph.D. or equivalent)
                    in hadron, nuclear
                    or particle physics and familiarity running
                    simulations and analysing data. The
                    successful candidates will also be expected to
                    contribute to the formulation
                    and submission of research publications and research
                    proposals and help manage
                    and direct these complex and challenging projects as
                    opportunities allow.
                 
                For
                    more information, please contact David Hamilton (david.j.hamilton AT glasgow.ac.uk) or Daria Sokhan (daria AT jlab.org).
