Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Hadron Physics
Postdoctoral Fellow of Physics - Experimental Hadron Physics Group at the College of William and Mary
The Department of Physics at William & Mary invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow position, expected to begin March 10, 2026. We seek an individual with expertise in experimental hadronic physics to join the Nuclear and Hadronic Experimental Group led by Dr. Meike Küßner. The successful candidate will contribute to the GlueX experiment in Hall D at Jefferson Lab. Applicants should possess experience in experimental hadron physics, which may include data handling and analysis, amplitude analysis, software development, and detector operation and design.
The appointed researcher will be expected to assume a leading role in the operation and analysis of data from the GlueX experiment and in the coupled‑channel analyses of multi‑meson final states.
The initial appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal based on performance and funding availability.
