Scientific Staff Positions -- Experimental Spin Physics

A research center focusing on the physics program of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), hard QCD/spin physics, lattice QCD and relativistic heavy ion physics has been established by the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, Japan (RIKEN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. An experimental division on spin physics was established in 1998. The RHIC is the first polarized proton collider, beginning in 2001, and the Center is playing a major role in developing the RHIC spin program. We are considering applications for a RIKEN BNL Fellow position, which is a 5 year position entering at the equivalent of Assistant Professor level. We are also considering applications for a Research Associate position, which is a two year position with the possibility of a one year extension. The group has 6 members at this time, 5 Fellows and 1 Research Associate. Members of the experimental division of the Center participate on the PHENIX experiment at RHIC.

Scientists with appropriate backgrounds who are interested in applying should send a curriculum vitae, and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to:

Dr. Nicholas Samios
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Building 510A
P.O. Box 5000
Upton, Long Island, NY 11973-5000

We request that the applications be sent as soon as possible, reaching us at least before August 17, 2007. BNL is an equal opportunity employer committed to work force diversity.

Scientific Staff Positions -- Strong Interaction Theory

The RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) carries out a theoretical research program focussed on the physics of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), heavy ion reactions, hard QCD/spin physics, and lattice QCD. Members of the center work closely with the existing nuclear, high energy, and lattice physics groups at BNL as well as with the lattice group at Columbia University. The lattice QCD effort has available at BNL the RBRC ten teraflop QCDOC (QCD on a chip) supercomputer.
An identical DOE funded ten teraflop machine is also operational at BNL.

• Applications will be considered for a RIKEN BNL Fellow position (up to a five-year appointment) in the area of lattice QCD to begin in the fall of 2006.
• Applications will be considered for Research Associate positions (two-year appointments) in the area of RHIC QCD/spin physics and possibly also in the area of lattice QCD or heavy ion physics.

Scientists with appropriate backgrounds who are interested in applying for these theory positions should send a curriculum vitae and have three letters of reference sent to:

Dr. Nicholas Samios

Building 510A

We request that the applications be sent as soon as possible, reaching us at least before February 15, 2006. BNL is an equal opportunity employer committed to work force diversity.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
