The Polarized Target Group (Profs. Slifer and Long) at the Uni-

versity of New Hampshire invites applications for an experimental Postdoctoral Research Associate. Our group’s activities focus on the Spin Physics

program at Jefferson Lab and other accelerators. We operate a Dynamic

Nuclear Polarization Lab with full capabilities to produce and polarize the

solid targets needed for this program. In the near term, our group will focus

on the Jefferson Lab Azz and b1 experiments, which will probe tensor po-

larized deuterons to better understand short range correlations and probe

exotic six-quark quantum chromodynamic states in spin-1 systems, the Hall

B Run Group C data analysis and polarized target installation, and the Hall

C g2p2 experiment. The successful candidate will take a leading role in this

effort, but will also be encouraged to propose and initiate new experiments

or to help develop new proposals using the polarized target.

The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled.

This is a one year appointment, which will be renewed for additional years

contingent upon available funding and satisfactory performance. Candidates

are required to have a PhD in experimental nuclear or particle physics by

the appointment start date. Interest or experience in spin physics and/or

polarized targets would be an asset.
