Postdoctoral Research Associates in Experimental Nuclear/Particle Physics

The Department of Physics and Astronomy (http://www.physics.sunysb.edu/Physics/) at Stony Brook University seeks to hire two postdoctoral researchers in experimental nuclear/particle physics. The successful applicants will work with the groups of Professors Krishna Kumar and Abhay Desphande on the parity-violating electron scattering (PVES) program at Jefferson Laboratory (JLAB), and R&D for a future Electron Ion Collide (EIC). Specifically, the groups are focused on the PREX and CREX experiments to measure the neutron RMS radii of Pb-208 and Ca-48 respectively and the future PVES projects MOLLER and SOLID that will search for physics beyond the Standard Model at JLab, as well as detector design and construction activities with the sPHENIX detector at BNL. The EIC & R&D will be organized
within the activities of the various nuclear physics experimental group efforts at Stony Brook. The research activities will involve both data analysis and hardware development some of which will be carried out in newly renovated laboratory space in the department as well as at JLab and BNL. Occasional travel to JLab will be required to fully engage in various research projects, as well as to participate in data collection and on-site detector maintenance.
