The Department of Physics at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina invites applications and nominations for a Research Assistant Professor position in the area of experimental nuclear physics. The person filling this position will be a member of a multi-university collaboration that studies nucleon structure using gamma-ray beams. The data produced by the measurements are interpreted with effective-field-theory calculations. The responsibilities of this position include leading research and development and operation of cryogenic targets for the low-energy QCD experimental program at the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS). The appointment begins as early as May 1, 2019. Applicants should have experience in cryogenics at temperatures below 4 K, vacuum systems, particle detectors, data acquisition and analysis. Candidates with experience working with commercial cryocoolers and dilution refrigerators are preferred.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics and work experience in a research area relevant to the duties of this position. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a statement of research, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation submitted through Academic Jobs Online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/13263.
