Postdoctoral Position in Nuclear and Hadronic Theory
 |
 |
| Supercomputers are now powerful enough to allow us to precisely compute the properties of the theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The graph is a recent calculation of the two pion scattering length as a function of the pion mass. Bellow, one of the suppercomputers used to perform this calculation (located at JLAB). |
The Hadronic and Nuclear Theory group in the Department of Physics at the College of WIlliam and Mary invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position in the group beginning in September 2010, pending availability of funding. Candidates should have a Ph.D. by the starting date and have expertise in an area relevant to the group's research program. Topics of interest include: QCD, effective field theories, chiral perturbation theory, heavy quark physics, and lattice field theory. The group consists of three faculty (Carlson, Detmold and Orginos) and currently has three postdoctoral research associates and a number of graduate students and has strong ties with the Theory Center at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.
Applications should include a CV (with a list of publications) and a brief statement of research interests and should be sent (preferably via email) to either of:
Prof Kostas Orginos
