Experiments:GAPS
Deadline: 2017-01-02
Region: North America
Job description:
Duties and Responsibilities:
The successful candidate will participate in the balloon-borne cosmic-ray antideuteron experiment GAPS. Cosmic-ray antideuterons are an important new probe for indirect dark matter identification. Detailed design and construction of the payload will start in 2017 and the first flight from Antarctica is planned for the end of 2020. The Hawaii group is mainly involved in the simulation tools and analysis software development as well as the calibration and qualification of lithium-drifted-silicon detectors.
Minimum Qualifications:
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree, preferentially in (astro)particle physics. Extensive experience with simulation tools (Geant4) and data analysis (ROOT) as well as hands-on lab experience with solid-state particle physics detectors is expected.
To Apply:
Send application (cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications, and contact information for at least two references) to philipvd@hawaii.edu. Please specify in the subject of the email: Postdoctoral fellow for the GAPS experiment.
Other Conditions:
The initial term of this position is for one year. Renewal subject to satisfactory performance.
