Job description:
Academic Associate - Department of Physics - McGill University
Project Scientist for Particle Detector Characterization
The high-energy physics group at McGill University invites applications for a scientist position to lead the development and operation of a particle detector characterization facility at McGill University. As part of the Phase-1 upgrade to the ATLAS detector at the CERN laboratory, large area gaseous multi-wire chambers will be built in Canada and fully characterized at McGill University, prior to their shipment to the CERN laboratory in Switzerland.
The successful applicant should have extensive experience in particle detector development and operation, or demonstrate strong potential to develop the required technical abilities. As project scientist, the applicant’s responsibilities will include:
The ability to organize, set priorities and obtain results is required. The successful candidate should have excellent communication skills and the ability to work efficiently as a member of a large team.
Demonstrated management, organizational and administrative skills are required.
To qualify, the candidate should have a PhD in Experimental High Energy Physics or equivalent experience relevant to the project. The successful candidate is to be based in Montreal and will report to the Principal Investigator. Salary will be commensurate with the applicant's experience. The initial appointment is for a one-year period, renewable yearly upon mutual agreement but limited to three years.
Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, description of research experience, list of publications , as well as arrange for three letters of recommendation to be e-mailed to Professor François Corriveau at the address provided below.
Review of applications will begin 23rd February 2017. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. E-mail inquiries should be directed to Prof. François Corriveau (corriveau@physics.mcgill.ca).
All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
