The experimental medium energy physics group at Mississippi State University invites
applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position. The group has research interests
which include studies of nucleon structure and QCD dynamics in nuclei at Jefferson Lab and
Fermilab, such as the precision measurement of color propagation and fragmentation processes,
study of color transparency phenomenon as well as the partonic structure of bound nucleons.
The group is in addition interested in the study of sea quarks distributions, EMC effect, and the
parton energy loss with the polarized and unpolarized Drell-Yan experiment at Fermilab.
We are looking for candidates who will be stationed at Jefferson Lab and will lead our efforts on
ongoing CLAS6 data analyses, forthcoming CLAS12 nuclear-target experiments, mainly color
transparency (RG-D), color propagation (RG-E), and low energy recoil tracker (ALERT; RG-L)
experiments, and software development for ALERT’s track reconstruction as well as particle
identification via artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. The successful candidate will be
encouraged to actively participate in the development of new experimental proposals at Jefferson
Lab.
