The Department of Physics at William & Mary, invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position that expects to begin October 10, 2023. We seek an individual with expertise in experimental hadronic physics to join the Nuclear and Hadronic Experimental Group to work on the GlueX experiment (http://www.gluex.org/) in Hall D at nearby Jefferson Lab.

The successful applicant is expected to take a leadership role in the operation and analysis of data from the DIRC particle identification detector at GlueX as well as amplitude analysis of meson final states containing strange quarks. A Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or particle physics, or related field, is required at the time the appointment begins. Experience with both hardware and data analysis is desirable, with an emphasis on hadron spectroscopy utilizing amplitude analysis.

Applicants should apply online at https://jobs.wm.edu/postings/54378. Submit a curriculum vitae, cover letter, statement of research interests, and a statement describing previous professional experience or future plans (or both) that demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion. You will be prompted to submit online the names and email addresses of three references who will be contacted by the system with instructions for how to submit a letter of reference.

For full consideration, submit application materials by the review begin date, July 10. Applications received after the review date will be considered if needed.
