Postdoctoral Research Associate New Mexico State University http://inspirehep.net/record/1373671 The Nuclear and Particle Physics group at New Mexico State University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position (Req. No. 1500255S) in Experimental High-Energy Nuclear Physics. The position will be based at Brookhaven National Laboratory as part of the PHENIX Collaboration at RHIC. Our physics focus is on the internal structure of the nucleon, explored at RHIC through collisions of polarized protons with other protons and nuclei. Fundamental questions about the quark and gluon contributions to the spin structure of the nucleon are under investigation. Analysis projects in this area are immediately available, as well as simulation projects that look forward to PHENIX detector upgrades. The successful candidate will work with our experimental nuclear and particle physics group consisting of three faculty members (Stephen Pate, Vassili Papavassiliou, and Xiaorong Wang), one other research associate, and several graduate students. A doctoral degree or equivalent in physics is required; experience in experimental medium-energy or high-energy nuclear physics or particle physics is preferred. Salaries are competitive and a comprehensive package of benefits is offered. An electronic job application must be filled out and documents attached as stated on the posting announcement: go to https://jobs.nmsu.edu/postings/22073 for complete application instructions. Review of applications will begin on August 31, 2015. NMSU is an equal-opportunity/affirmative-action university. Applications from minorities and women are particularly encouraged.
