Indiana University invites applications for either an experimentalist or phenomenologist to contribute to the development of innovative analysis techniques for the GlueX experiment, a key component of the 12GeV upgrade at Jefferson Laboratory. GlueX will use a polarized beam of photons to search for exotic configurations of quarks and antiquarks, and will rely on detailed amplitude analyses to isolate these states from their more conventional partners. As part of a recently funded NSF proposal for Physics at the Information Frontier, Indiana University has assumed responsibility for the creation of a unique and flexible interface between experiment and phenomenology, offering phenomenologists an unprecedented level of access to experimental data. The post-doctoral researcher will aid in this effort. Existing experimental data from the CLEO-c experiment at Cornell and Brookhaven's E852, besides offering important physics topics in their own right, will serve as a testbed for the development of GlueX analysis tools. The candidate will work with a collaboration of experimentalists and phenomenologists at Indiana University, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Connecticut, and Jefferson Laboratory. This position is renewable for up to three years with the starting date negotiable. The minimum requirement is a Ph.D. in nuclear/particle physics and programming experience. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae and summary of research interests, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to:Ryan Mitchell

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate position in lattice gauge theory with a starting date potentially as soon as September 1, 2008. Initial appointment is for one year, with probable renewal for a second year. We seek outstanding candidates in lattice gauge theory for work on NSF and DOE SciDAC supported projects. Applicants with expertise in U(1) lattice theory, baryon spectroscopy or heavy-light physics are especially encouraged to apply. The successful applicant will have excellent software development skills. Knowledge of MILC or SciDAC codes will be a strong advantage. Each application should include a curriculum vitae, a description of research interests and accomplishments, and a list of publications. Candidates should also have at least three letters of reference sent to Prof. Steven Gottlieb. Electronic applications are preferred and should be sent to sg@indiana.eduPaper materials are acceptable and should be mailed to:Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
