Postdoctoral Research Associate Position, experimental nuclear physics.
Hadronic Physics Group - Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Laboratory for Nuclear Science at MIT invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position with the Hadronic Physics Group.

The successful candidate will join our ongoing collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Upton, Long Island, New York to develop a source of polarized He-3 ions for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at BNL. The BNL-MIT collaboration has developed a concept using high field optical pumping and the existing Electron Beam Ionization Source at BNL. The main focus of effort over the next several years is to realize this concept and to test it by extracting and measuring the nuclear polarization of fully stripped polarized He-3 nuclei. The project offers a unique opportunity for a young physicist to play a leading role in the development of cutting-edge ion-source technology, which is essential for next-generation subatomic physics experiments.

The position requires residence in the vicinity of Brookhaven National Laboratory and periodic travel to MIT.

Applicants should have a recent Ph.D. in physics.

MIT is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages women and minorities to apply.
