The lattice QCD group at the George Washington University anticipates an opening for a Post Doctoral Scientist position starting in Fall 2019, but a starting date as early as January 2019 is possible. The appointment is for a one-year term and may be extended to a second year, based on mutual agreement. A renewal for a third year is possible, contingent upon the availability of funding.

The applicant must hold a Ph.D. in High Energy or Nuclear Physics and have research interests and experience that strongly overlaps with the current activities of our group, namely lattice calculations for nuclear spectrum and structure, finite density, and vacuum structure.

Interested applicants should apply at http://www.gwu.jobs/postings/56423. The application should include a CV, list of publications and a brief statement of research interests. Your recommendation letters should be sent by e-mail to Andrei Alexandru . The applicants are also encouraged to send an email to Andrei Alexandru (with cc to Frank Lee ) indicating their intention to apply. We will start reviewing applications on December 1, 2018 and continue until the position is filled.
