The Experimental Nuclear Physics group led by Prof. David Armstrong
in the Department of Physics at William & Mary invites applications
for a postdoctoral research associate beginning as early as November
10 2021. The position is for three years, renewable each year based on
performance and funding availability.

The successful candidate will be expected to make significant
contributions to the development of the MOLLER project at Jefferson
Laboratory. MOLLER is a parity-violating electron scattering
experiment in preparation for Hall A at Jefferson Laboratory, with a
goal to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model at the TeV
scale. The work will involve simulation, design, construction, and
testing of hardware for the experiment and planning for the execution
of the experiment. Duties may also include supervising and
coordinating the work of other researchers including graduate and
undergraduate students. Inquiries regarding the position can be
directed to: Prof. David Armstrong (dsarms@wm.edu).

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or particle
physics or a closely related field by the starting date, and have
expertise in an area relevant to the group’s research program. These
include experimental hardware, data acquisition, analysis and
simulations.

Preferred qualification - Familiarity with electron scattering
experimental techniques including GEM detectors, C++, GEANT4 and
related CERN library software.

Applicants must apply on-line at https://jobs.wm.edu/postings/43505
and submit a cover letter to include research interests, a curriculum
vitae and the contact information for three references.

Review of applications will begin October 1, 2021. Applications
received after that date will be considered only if needed.

William & Mary values diversity and invites applications from
underrepresented groups who will enrich the research, teaching and
service missions of the university. William & Mary is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and encourages applications
from women, minorities, protected veterans, and individuals with
