Key Responsibilities

   AI-ready data and analysis for the ePIC Barrel Imaging Calorimeter and our Jefferson Lab program
   Support for the PRad-II and X17 experiments scheduled to run in CY26
   Lead role in our MCP-PMT R&D program, with emphasis on device characterization and QA
   Option to combine these focus areas with other ongoing projects in our group

About Argonne and the MEP Group
Argonne National Laboratory, located near Chicago, is a leading multidisciplinary science and engineering research center. The Medium Energy Group in the Physics Division comprises eight staff members, two engineers, and several postdocs and students.

Our program spans electron-scattering experiments at Jefferson Lab in Halls A, B, and C, including CLAS12 and SoLID. We have led SeaQuest and are involved in SpinQuest at Fermilab and the MUSE experiment at PSI. Our hardware program includes the ePIC Barrel Imaging Calorimeter, as well as instrumentation R&D such as a polarized lithium-ion source for the EIC, superconducting nanowire particle detectors, and pixelized MCP-PMTs.
