Field of Interest:hep-ex, hep-ph
Experiments:Dark Matter
Deadline: 2016-06-30
Region: North America
Job description:
The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking applicants for an experimental Research Associate position to work in the area of accelerator-based searches for Dark Matter and Dark Forces. SLAC researchers, along with collaborators, are developing a new experimental proposal to search for Dark Matter production in fixed-target electron-nuclear scattering using a missing-momentum approach. SLAC is also involved in two dark force experiments at Jefferson Lab — Heavy Photon Search (HPS) and A-Prime Experiment (APEX). SLAC has several leading roles in HPS: silicon-vertex tracker, data acquisition, simulation, and data analysis. SLAC is also developing an HPS upgrade which will boost the experiment's reach.
The current position is geared towards hardware design and simulation, so the successful candidate will be expected to have significant experience in these areas. The candidate will play a leading role in developing a missing-momentum experimental proposal, and be involved in all aspects of design and optimization. Particular focus will be given to tracker design and the analysis of experimental sensitivity. In parallel, the candidate is expected to contribute to ongoing data analysis and operations support for HPS, and is invited to contribute to APEX as well. For further information about the SLAC position, please contact Prof. Philip Schuster (schuster@slac.stanford.edu).
Qualifications:
These are highly competitive positions as part of the general research associate program at SLAC, requiring a background of demonstrated excellence in research and a recent PhD in experimental particle physics. The term of these positions is three years, and may be renewed.
How to apply:
Interested candidates should submit the following online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/7129
A letter of application indicating the primary physics program of interest (High Energy Physics, Dark Matter)
C.V.
Selected bibliography that highlights personal contributions
Brief statement of research interest
Candidates should also ask at least three senior physicists who know their work to provide letters of recommendation.
Processing of applications for these positions will begin on May 2, 2016.
