Jefferson Lab invites applications for a post-doctoral research associate position in the Hall C nuclear physics group. The core Hall C equipment consists of two focusing magnetic spectrometers and various high-power targets. The successful applicant will be expected to participate in the 12 GeV era experiments in Hall C. Physics topics of these experiments include nucleon and nuclear structure functions, the connection between nucleon-nucleon interactions and the quark structure of many-nucleon systems, and measurements of pion and kaon form factors and their basic cross sections in semi-inclusive and deep exclusive scattering experiments. Along with participating in the research program, postdoctoral fellows in Hall C are expected to help with maintaining the particle detector hardware as well as the development of the software for analysis.

Position Requirements
By the date of hire, the candidate must have successfully defended their doctoral dissertation in experimental nuclear, particle, or high-energy physics. Experience working with particle detectors and analyzing data is essential, and a background in lepton-nucleus physics would be beneficial. The position will initially be available for a 2 year term, with the possibility of an additional year extension, contingent upon mutual agreement and the availability of funds. Applicants should send curriculum vitae and arrange to have three letters of references sent to: Erica Jones eljones@jlab.org.

Mental Requirements
Ability to comprehend, formulate, and communicate highly abstract concepts
Ability to express or exchange complex ideas by means of spoken and written communication
Ability to analyze and interpret complex data and develop models

Physical Requirements
Ability to get across various locations on the laboratory site and access work areas
Ability to work on a computer for extended periods
Visual capabilities sufficient to use computer workstations, read documents, and see safety alarms
Auditory capabilities to hear safety alarms
