Field of Interest:astro-ph, hep-ex, nucl-ex
Experiments:ADMX
Deadline: 2017-11-01
Region: North America
Job description:
Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Particle-Astrophysics
THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Department of Physics
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral appointment with the Axion Dark-Matter eXperiment (ADMX).
The initial term is one year and may be extended if mutually agreed.
ADMX, a RF-cavity search for axion dark matter in our galactic halo, is one of flagship DOE “Generation 2”
dark-matter searches. It is in operation after an extensive upgrade to ultra-low noise SQUID/JPA microwave
amplification and 3He cooling. Our group’s technical interests include spectral signal estimation, development
of cryogenic and vacuum instrumentation, and research on resonators and quantum-limited low-noise
microwave electronics. The successful applicant will share our group’s interest in experimental cosmology,
broadly considered, and our interest in challenging measurements. Tasks include operation of the detector,
upgrades to the cyyogenic and vacuum systems, data analysis and development of detector technology for
axion searches.
ADMX US collaborating institutions include the University of Washington, the University of Florida, the University
of California Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and
Washington University. This is a Collaboration-wide search.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Physics, Astronomy or a closely related field at time of hire. Please submit
your application letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications, and three letters of recommendation to
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/9659
Questions may be directed to Prof. Leslie Rosenberg, ljrosenberg@phys.washington.edu.
The University of Washington is an affirmative action and equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants
will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, age, protected veteran or disabled status, or genetic information.
