Job description:
Postdoctoral Research Scientist Position
Neutrino Physics and LArTPC Detector Development
Nevis Laboratories, Columbia University
The Neutrino Physics Group in the Department of Physics at Columbia University is seeking qualified applicants for a postdoctoral position in neutrino physics and liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detector development.
The successful candidate will take an active role in physics analysis on the ongoing MicroBooNE experiment. The successful candidate will also take a leading role in readout electronics and data acquisition system development and commissioning for the planned SBND experiment. Position responsibilities will include
• Monte Carlo simulations
• Reconstruction development
• R&D for novel LArTPC readout and data acquisition techniques
• Readout and DAQ test stand development and operation
• Neutrino and rare event physics phenomenology that is accessible through current and future LArTPC experiments.
Frequent (domestic) travel should be expected.
Applications will be considered from individuals with a PhD in particle physics, with preference given to those with experience and/or strong interest in detector development and operation, data acquisition systems and electronics development, data analysis, detector simulations, neutrino phenomenology. Proficiency in object-oriented programming is essential, and experience with ROOT, Python, LArSoft and LArLite is strongly preferred.
Interested candidates should send their CV, a statement of research background and interests, and three letters of recommendation to Prof. Georgia Karagiorgi at georgia@nevis.columbia.edu. Selection of candidates will commence on September 15, 2016, and will continue until the position is filled.
Columbia University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer – Race/Gender/Disability/Veteran.
For further information on this position, please contact Prof. Georgia Karagiorgi at georgia@nevis.columbia.edu.
