Postdoctoral Appointee - Postdoc at Physics Division, Argonne National Laboratory

The Physics division at Argonne National Laboratory seek a highly qualified postdoctoral appointee to (a) participate in tests of novel ultra-fast silicon detectors (UFSD), (b) simulate the performance of such UFSD, and (c) design the next iterations of UFSDs. The tests involve measurements on a well-equipped test bench, as well as measurements at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility (FTBF). The successful candidate will actively collaborate with experts in the field and will be able to build an independent research program.  The position is initially for one year, but can be extended to a maximum of three years.

Position requirements:

• PhD in experimental physics or equivalent
• Expertise in simulation of semi-conductive sensors
• Expertise in testing particle sensors
• Significant experience programming in one or more programming languages such as C, C++, and Python
• Good communication skills both verbal and written.

The Physics division has an active and broad-ranging program in hadron and nuclear physics. The current focus is on hadron structure studies through electron scattering measurements at Jefferson Lab and proton-induced Drell-Yan scattering at Fermilab (SeaQuest/E906).  The division is also involved in planned muon-scattering measurements at PSI aimed at solving the proton radius puzzle and tests of fundamental symmetry in parity violating electron in scattering at Jefferson Lab and searches for an atomic EDM in 225Ra EDM using measurements on cold trapped atoms.  Detailed information on our group and its research activities can be found at our home page.
