POSTDOCTORAL POSITION EXPERIMENTAL NUCLEAR/PARTICLE PHYSICS The Medium Energy Physics Group at the applications for a term appointment for research with the
PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL. Our
main physics interest is in the Spin Physics program at RHIC, with ongoing
analyses of di-hadron correlations in longitudinally polarized proton collisions,
and strong interest in the Drell-Yan program at RHIC. Close
collaboration is encouraged with the RIKEN/BNL Research Center and with providing excellent exposure and possible additional
resources. Successful candidates can be stationed at UNM and/or BNL, based upon
their research needs. Extended stays at BNL will be required from time to time.
Our group played a significant role in the development and production of the
Muon Arm tracking subsystem and is currently contributing to the development a
new forward silicon tracker in PHENIX (fVTX). The development and
construction of the fVTX will be a central responsibility of this position. Our
group also has a history of extensive involvement in strangeness nuclear
physics and rare K-decays, and therefore we also have interest in future
experiments at J-PARC in Tokai/Japan. Candidates must have completed the Ph.D. at
the time of hire. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a description of
research interests and accomplishments, a list of publications, and arrange to
have three letters of reference sent to Prof. Douglas Fields (fields@unm.edu),
Department of Physics and Astronomy, MSC 07-4220, should be received by December 31, 2008. The Equal Opportunity Employer. |
