The Laboratory for Nuclear Science at MIT invites applications for one or more postdoctoral research associate positions with the Hadronic Physics Group. There are currently opportunities to participate in experiments addressing several important physics issues. These opportunities include: the use of parity-violating electron scattering (JLab and Mainz) to measure the weak charge of the proton and as a precision Standard Model test; the use of photo-pion and other reactions (JLab, HIGS) to study chiral symmetry breaking in QCD; an experiment (MIT) to study the neutron-proton radiative capture process at the very low energies relevant to the epoch immediately following the Big Bang, to test theories of the formation of the lightest elements; and a very sensitive search (Oak Ridge) for a non-zero value of the neutron electric dipole moment, which is a crucial test for physics beyond the Standard Model.
A Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or particle physics is required. Please send a curriculum vitae, publication list, and three letters of recommendation to:
