Job description:
The Experimental Neutrino Physics group at the University of Tennessee has an immediate opening at the postdoctoral level for research on current and upcoming neutrino experiments: MicroBooNE, SBND and DUNE.
The Liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology is currently driving the short and long baseline neutrino physics program for the next 10 to 15 years. The MicroBooNE experiment and the Short-baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab are aimed at exploring the parameter space where there are existing hints of sterile neutrinos. The DUNE experiment which forms the next generation long-baseline oscillation experiment aims to measure δCP and determine the neutrino mass ordering. Both of these programs utilize the LArTPC technology to achieve the proposed physics goals. UTK possesses strong expertise in the LArTPC detector technology as well as in detector calibration and neutrino physics analyses. We have leading roles in the development and commissioning of detector controls and monitoring system for LArTPC experiments. We also have strong roles in detector physics and neutrino-argon cross section analyses.
The successful candidate will take leading roles in the design, installation and commissioning of the detector controls and monitoring system for the SBND experiment along with significant contributions to detector physics and cross section analyses with MicroBooNE. Additionally, there will be opportunities for future contributions with the combined SBN physics and upcoming proto-DUNE and DUNE experiments. There will also be an opportunity to get hands-on experience through the LArTPC test stand setup at UTK. The candidate is expected to initially spend extended periods of time at Fermilab to maximally engage in the SBND and MicroBooNE efforts.
Please provide a curriculum vitae, publication list, including a statement of research experience and physics interests, and the names and addresses of at least three persons whom we could contact for reference letters.
Screening of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Applicants can apply at: http://hr.utk.edu/recruitment/ [click on Staff Vacancies (External Candidates) on the right side menu]. Inquiries regarding this position can be made to Dr. Sowjanya Gollapinni at sgollapi@utk.edu.
The University of Tennessee is an EEO/AA/Title VI/Title IX/Section 504/ADA/ADEA institution in the provision of its education and employment programs and services. All qualified applicants will receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, pregnancy, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, physical or mental disability, or covered veteran status.
