Role
We are currently seeking a 2-year Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA), with the possibility of a 1 year extension. This role will contribute to and lead science aspects relating to our current measurement programmes in the excitation spectra of strange baryons, the hyperon-nucleon interaction, exotic hybrid mesons and hexaquarks. The successful candidate is expected to work closely with our collaborators at Thomas Jefferson Laboratory (USA) and MAMI (Germany), including other postdocs and students. The work will comprise lead in the data taking for key measurements as well as data analysis and physics interpretation. There will be opportunities for diversification of the PDRA role in emerging science areas as well as applications, such as in our extensive medical physics initiatives.
