The Physics Department at the College of William and Mary invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate to work with Prof. Jozef Dudek applying lattice QCD techniques to solve contemporary problems in hadron spectroscopy. The successful candidate would collaborate with scientists in the Theory Center of Jefferson Lab, and Dudek's international collaborators within the Hadron Spectrum Collaboration (hadspec.org).

The position would begin on September 1st 2018 subject to funding. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear or particle physics, or in a closely related field, before the start date. Prior experience with lattice QCD is desirable, but not required. The initial appointment is for two years, subject to acceptable performance, and may be extended further subject to performance and funding availability.

Candidates must apply online at https://jobs.wm.edu (position number F0680W), and submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae including publication list, and a statement of research interests. 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. Review of applications will begin December 15th 2017.

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.
