Working at MIT offers opportunities, an environment, a culture - and benefits - that just aren't found together anywhere else. If you're curious, motivated, want to be part of a unique community, and help shape the future - then take a look at this opportunity.

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, Laboratory for Nuclear Science (LNS), to assume a position in experimental nuclear physics with the Hadronic Physics Group. Will join an ongoing collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Upton, Long Island, New York to develop a source of polarized He-3 ions for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at BNL. The BNL-MIT collaboration has developed a concept using high field optical pumping and the existing Electron Beam Ionization Source at BNL. The main focus of effort over the next several years is to realize this concept and to test it by extracting and measuring the nuclear polarization of fully stripped polarized He-3 nuclei.

The project offers a unique opportunity to play a leading role in the development of cutting-edge ion-source technology, which is essential for next-generation subatomic physics experiments.
