The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is the world's only machine capable of colliding high-energy beams of polarized protons, and is unique tool for exploring the puzzle of the proton's 'missing' spin. Members of the RHIC spin group are playing key roles in detector development and analysis of the polarized proton-proton data in both the PHENIX and STAR collaborations at RHIC. The other major involvement of the RHIC spin group is in the RHIC polarimeters, which provide the measurement of the polarization of the proton beams at RHIC.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

As a member of the group, the successful candidate will be part of the STAR collaborations and work on analysis of the polarized proton-proton data. In addition, the candidate will be expected to spend a significant fraction of his/her time on the operation of the RHIC polarimeters and/or the analysis of their data. For further detail on the position, please contact Dr. E.C. Aschenauer (elke@bnl.gov), Physics Department.
