Job description:
The Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Hawaii at Manoa, seeks candidates
for a postdoctoral fellowship in the area of experimental high energy particle physics and
astrophysics, to pursue research in the current focus areas of radio and
microwave-frequency detector development for ultra-high energy particles. UH is currently one of
the leaders in several initiatives in radio detection of high energy particles, including
(1) The NASA-funded Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) mission;
(2) The Askaryan Calorimeter Experiment (ACE), developing microwave-based picosecond
particle detectors for future high energy physics experiments.
(3) The ExaVolt Antenna Superpressure balloon mission.
(3) The ExaVolt Antenna Superpressure balloon mission.
Minimum Qualifications: PhD in physics, astrophysics or a closely related field.
Desirable Qualifications: Experience with radio frequency or microwave hardware or
measurements; Realtime embedded system programming in C,C++, in a linux environment
is a plus.
Candidates with a background in experimental high energy particle physics or astrophysics
are encouraged to apply. Fellowship Stipend is commensurate with experience and
qualifications.
To Apply: Applications should be directed, along with 3 letters of recommendation,
to the attention of Professor Peter Gorham, gorham at phys dot hawaii dot edu .
Electronic correspondence is encouraged. For full consideration, applications should be completed
