Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:LUX / LZ
Deadline: 2015-12-18
Region: North America
Job description:
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Scholar position in the area of experimental astroparticle physics in the Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. Research will focus on the direct detection of dark matter particles with the LUX and LUX-ZEPLIN experiments, as well as research and development toward future detectors using liquefied noble gases. Potential R&D topics include high voltage delivery, scintillation light collection, calibration techniques, Compton gamma-ray imaging using liquid xenon, and low-mass dark matter detection using superfluid helium. The successful applicant will have a Ph.D. in physics or expect to finish a degree program no later than Fall 2016, and have substantial experience in cryogenics, low backgrounds, or nuclear instrumentation techniques.
Candidates should send a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and list of publications to: Prof. Daniel McKinsey, Department of Physics, University of California, Berkeley, 366 LeConte Hall, Berkeley, CA, 94720-7300 or electronically to daniel.mckinsey@berkeley.edu. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to the same address. Review of applications will begin December 18, 2015, and continue until the position is filled. The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age or protected veteran status.
