Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Physics Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The successful candidate will be based at Fermilab and work on the muon g-2 experiment making an improved measurement of the muon magnetic moment anomaly. Comparison of the results with theoretical predictions allows a high precision test of the Standard Model, with outstanding sensitivity to new physics.

UMass researchers have responsibilities for precision NMR-based magnetic field measurements, magnetic field analysis, and other aspects of the experiment. More details about this exciting experiment can be found at http://muon-g-2.fnal.gov.

The position is for one year initially, with the possibility of renewal. A Ph.D. in experimental AMO, nuclear, particle physics or related field is required. Candidates with some hardware experience preferred.

Candidates should submit a brief cover letter, a CV, a statement summarizing research experience and interests, and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent using the following link:
