The Department of Physics at New Mexico State University invites applications for a postdoctoral position in experimental nuclear physics. Our research group focuses on studying the fundamental properties of nucleons and are involved in many projects including analysis of near threshold J/psi production data from Jefferson Lab’s Hall-C, commissioning and running the ALERT suit of experiments in Jefferson Lab’s Hall-B, research and development of Cherenkov mirror design for the SoLID detector package in Jefferson Lab’s Hall-A, and assisting with running the MUSE experiment at PSI. The successful candidate will be expected to make contributions related to the areas listed above. General duties will also include publication of analysis results, working with teams of international collaborators, assisting and mentoring students involved in similar research, and developing new ideas or proposals for nuclear physics experiments. 

This appointment will be initially for one year and is renewable contingent upon satisfactory performance and available funding. Applicants are required to have a PhD in experimental nuclear or particle physics and are expected to have experience with data analysis and monte-carlo simulations. Hardware experience and/or advanced computational skills are desirable but not mandatory.  Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a cover letter that summarizes research experience and interests, and provide 3 references available for contact to the web site https://careers.nmsu.edu/jobs/498900. Review of applications will begin immediately. For full consideration, applicants must submit all materials by November 26th, 2023. NMSU is an equal-opportunity/affirmative-action university. Applications from minorities and women are particularly encouraged. If you have any questions regarding to the position, please contact Prof. Michael Paolone at mpaolone@nmsu.edu.
