POST-DOCTORAL POSITION AT OHIO UNIVERSITY: BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF NUCLEAR DYNAMICS

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2020
The Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics at Ohio University anticipates hiring a full-time, post-doctoral research associate to take up a position starting in Summer 2021. The appointment will initially be for one year. Renewal for two additional years is highly probable, but is contingent on funding and job performance. 
 
The successful candidate will be expected to work with Prof. Daniel Phillips and his external collaborators on applications of Bayesian Model Mixing in Nuclear Physics, and on implementing software tools in the Bayesian Analysis of Nuclear Dynamics (BAND) Software Framework (https://bandframework.github.io/) that will facilitate such applications. Previous experience with Bayesian Methods and collaborative software development is desired, but not essential. The successful candidate must have strong communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a geographically distributed interdisciplinary team.
 
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in physics (or anticipate having a Ph.D. in hand by June 2021). Interested candidates are requested to submit a curriculum vitae that includes a complete list of publications as well as a cover letter that explains how their previous research is relevant for this position through the website: https://www.ohiouniversityjobs.com/postings/35477
 
Only submissions via this method will be accepted. When applicants submit their  application they will be asked to provide the names of three people willing to write a reference  letter on their behalf. Those individuals will then be contacted by email and asked to upload a letter to our system.
 
Questions about the position should be addressed to Prof. Daniel Phillips, phillid1@ohio.edu. Review of applications will begin November 24, 2020.
