Job description:
Two Postdoctoral positions at the University of Alabama for work on EXO-200 and nEXO
The nuclear physics group at the University of Alabama invites applications for two postdoctoral positions. The group plays a leading role in data analysis of the ongoing EXO-200 neutrinoless double-beta decay (DBD) experiment, is responsible for the operation of its cosmic ray veto system, and is responsible for low level radioactivity measurements and Monte Carlo simulations for the next generation 136Xe DBD experiment, nEXO. Responsibilities further include R&D of novel photodetectors for rare event searches.
Candidates should have a background in experimental nuclear or particle physics. Experience in detector operation and development (especially noble liquid detectors), data analysis (ROOT), Monte Carlo simulations (Geant4), and low background counting would be advantageous. Candidates need to have a Ph.D. in physics at the time of appointment. Ph.D. candidates should indicate when they are expecting to fulfill their Ph.D. requirements. The appointment is initially for one year with the possibility of renewal for up to three years. Apply online at https://facultyjobs.ua.edu/postings/38770. The application should include a cover letter (addressing how you meet the job requirements), a statement of purpose (explaining your scientific goals), and a current C.V. with the following categories preferred: educational background, degree dates, GPA with scale, experience, invited presentations, publications. Please have at least two letters of reference sent directly to: Dr. Andreas Piepke, andreas@ua.edu. The cover letter needs to indicate EXO in the subject line. The positions are expected to start October 1, 2016. However, applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
