Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:DUNE, MicroBooNE and ICARIUS
Deadline: 2016-11-01
Region: North America
Job description:
The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking applicants for an experimental Research Associate position to work in the area of Neutrino Physics. SLAC is a member of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), MicroBooNE and ICARUS collaborations, all of which will use Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPC) to detect neutrino interactions. DUNE will have a 1300 km baseline and will provide the world's best measurements of neutrino oscillations. MicroBooNE and the ICARUS T600 are short-baseline experiments designed to explore anomalies observed in MiniBooNE and LSND as well as measure neutrino cross-sections. MicroBooNE Is currently taking data, and ICARUS will begin in 2018. The three experiments are each at rather different development stages, which will allow the successful candidate to participate in the near-term physics opportunities of MicroBooNE and ICARUS, as well contribute to the R&D for DUNE. Near-term DUNE R&D will focus on the ProtoDUNE (Single Phase) TPC being built at CERN, where the successful candidate will be expected to spend significant time in 2017 in preparation for running in 2018.
Current SLAC involvement in DUNE, MicroBooNE and ICARUS
The following are the present areas of SLAC engagement:
The successful candidate will be expected to take on significant responsibility in the ProtoDUNE DAQ system, so ideally would have some experience in DAQ or related fields. As the SLAC group grows, we expect to strengthen our involvement in these areas and potentially expand to others. For further information about the SLAC position, please contact Dr. Mark Convery (convery@slac.stanford.edu).
Qualifications
These are highly competitive positions as part of the general research associate program at SLAC, requiring a background of demonstrated excellence in research and a recent PhD in experimental particle physics. The term of these positions is two years in the first instance and may be renewed.
How to apply
Interested candidates should submit the following online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/7392.. [Update the URL!]:
Processing of applications for these positions will begin on August 1, 2016
