The successful applicant will be expected to take a leadership role in one or more of our approved experiments with the CLAS12 spectrometer, including:
Studying short-range correlations (SRC) and the nucleon-nucleon interaction at short distances,
Studying the modification of bound-nucleon structure,
Studying electron-nucleus scattering reactions to constrain bias in neutrino oscillation measurements,
Studying the spin structure of the nucleon via polarized electron scattering from polarized H and D targets.
We are looking for a candidate who will also enjoy the opportunity to supervise our undergraduate and graduate students working on these experiments.
Interested applicants should complete an application to include: cover letter, CV, a statement of research interests (1-2 pages) and arrange for three letters of recommendation
