Field of Interest:astro-ph, hep-ex
Experiments:ICECUBE, ICECUBE-PINGU
Deadline: 2016-01-31
Region: North America
Job description:
The Particle Astrophysics group at Penn State has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to work on the IceCube neutrino observatory, which has been completely deployed and taking data at the South Pole since 2011. The Penn State group is focused on the study of atmospheric neutrino oscillations using data from IceCube’s DeepCore low energy extension, the development of data acquisition electronics and firmware for the proposed PINGU extension to IceCube, and Monte Carlo studies of PINGU's sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute actively to the analysis of data from DeepCore and to help further develop the proposal to build PINGU.
Applications will be considered from Ph.D. physicists and astronomers with strong backgrounds in particle astrophysics, particle physics, cosmic ray physics, and related fields. Experience with object-oriented software and particle physics data analysis tools is preferred. Experience or interest in the design of FPGA firmware and/or data acquisition electronics is a plus. Applications must be submitted electronically at the Penn State employment website at https://psu.jobs/job/59757 and include a CV and brief statement of research interests. Applicants should arrange for three reference letters to be submitted to physicsapply@psu.edu indicating the appropriate job number in the subject line. This is a fixed-term appointment funded for one year from date of hire, with possibility of re-funding. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is found.
