The Physics Department at the College of William and Mary invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate in the experimental hadronic physics group to work on the GlueX experiment in Hall D at nearby Jefferson Lab. The successful applicant is expected to take a leadership role in the construction and commissioning of a new DIRC particle identification detector, which will provide kaon identification to search for exotic mesons containing strange quarks. There will be additional opportunities to contribute to data analysis with the initial GlueX physics program which is currently ongoing.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or particle physics. Experience with hardware and data analysis, in particular hadron spectroscopy utilizing amplitude analysis, is desirable. Candidates must apply online at https://jobs.wm.edu/postings/25513, and submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae and research statement. You will be prompted to submit online the names and email addresses of three references who will be contacted with instructions for how to submit a letter of reference.

William & Mary values diversity and invites applicants from underrepresented groups who will enrich the research, teaching, and service missions of the university. We are an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, and we encourage applications from women, minorities, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
