Job description:
Postdoctoral Fellow in Neutrino Physics - 82825
Organization: NS-Nuclear Science
Berkeley Lab is Bringing Science Solutions to the World, and YOU can be a part of it!
In the world of science, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is synonymous with "excellence." That's why we hire the best - whether in research, science or operations. This is a great opportunity to bring your top-notch skills to bear in support of world-class scientific research that addresses national and global challenges!
Position Summary:
Berkeley Lab’s Nuclear Science Division (https://commons.lbl.gov/display/nsd/Home) has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow. This position will work on experiments to search for lepton number violation and to probe the absolute neutrino mass scale.
Specific Responsibilities:
• Perform data analysis, support for operations, and maintenance of electronics for the Majorana Demonstrator experiment.
• Develop advanced germanium detectors and associated electronics for neutrinoless double-beta decay search.
• Develop analysis software for gamma and beta spectrum measurements.
• Develop clean materials and processes for next-generation low-background rare-event search experiments.
Required Qualifications:
• Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics, High Energy Physics or related discipline within the last two years.
• Experience with nuclear instrumentation or radiation detection.
• Experience with programming and physics analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to perform research independently and as part of a research group.
Additional Desired Qualifications:
• Relevant publication record demonstrating proficient written and oral presentation of scientific results.
• Knowledge of analog and digital electronics design and testing for radiation detectors.
• Knowledge of advanced digital signal processing techniques.
The posting shall remain open until the position is filled.
Notes:
• This is a 2 year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. You must have less than 3 years paid postdoctoral experience.
• Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree.
• Salary will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates.
• This position requires completion of a background check.
