The Physics department at Syracuse University is soliciting applications for a postdoctoral research associate who will work in Nuclear Physics experiments at JLab, including MOLLER and SoLID. The postdoc will work on DAQ electronics for the SoLID and Moller experiments.

The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal.

PhD in Physics or equivalent

The Solenoidal Large Intensity Device (SoLID) is a planned large acceptance spectrometer for Hall A at Jefferson Lab. A large number of experiments have been approved that will use SoLID. The main experiments are PVDIS (Parity-Violating Deep Inelastic Scattering), three SIDIS (Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering), and one J/ψ production experiment. During the period from October 2023 to October 2025, the postdoc will help assemble and test the SoLID data acquisition system at Jefferson Lab. Jefferson Lab will provide the components of the DAQ system. This DAQ system will consist of 30 VXS crates with each filled with VXS Trigger Processor (VTP) module, Trigger Interface module, signal distribution module, VME CPU module, Flash ADC modules. Additionally, two VXS crates will have a VME CPU module, the Trigger Master, the Trigger Distribution modules and the SubSystem Processor modules. With the guidance of the Jefferson Lab Fast Electronics Group, the DAQ software will be developed and tested for the trigger needed by the PVDIS and the SIDIS configurations of SoLID. In addition, the postdoc will assist in developing DAQ hardware for the Moller experiment at JLab.

In addition to completing an online application, please attach a curriculum vitae and cover letter.

Syracuse is a medium-sized city situated in the geographic center of New York State approximately 250 miles northwest of New York City. The metro-area population totals approximately 500,000. The area offers a low cost of living and provides many social, cultural, and recreational options, including parks, museums, festivals, professional regional theater, and premier shopping venues. Syracuse and Central New York present a wide range of seasonal recreation and attractions ranging from water skiing and snow skiing, hiking in the Adirondacks, touring the historic sites, visiting wineries along the Finger Lakes, and biking on trails along the Erie Canal.

Syracuse University has a long history of engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.

Syracuse University maintains an inclusive learning environment in which students, faculty, administrators, staff, curriculum, social activities, governance, and all other aspects of campus life reflect a diverse, multi-cultural, and international worldview. The University community recognizes and values the many similarities and differences among individuals and groups. At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to understand, live among, appreciate, and work in an inherently diverse country and world made up of people with different ethnic and racial backgrounds, military backgrounds, religious beliefs, socio-economic status, cultural traditions, abilities, sexual orientations and gender identities. To do so, we commit ourselves to promoting a community that celebrates and models the principles of diversity and inclusivity.
