Postdoc - Experimental Particle Physics / Neutrino Physics, University of Florida, USA

The University of Florida Experimental Neutrino Physics group, working on the MiniBooNE Experiment at Fermilab and on a proposal for a neutrino experiment at Oak Ridge, has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate.
MiniBooNE is a neutrino oscillation experiment that has recently reported results from neutrino running and has just completed stage I of an anti-neutrino run. MiniBooNE has amassed the world's largest neutrino and anti-neutrino dataset in the 0.5 to 2 GeV energy range and is currently the only existing neutrino experiment running with a dedicated anti-neutrino beam.

The University of Florida is collaborating with several other institutions on a proposal for a neutrino experiment, Osc-SNS, to be located at the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge, TN. The University of Florida is responsible for the development of a full simulation for the proposed detector, from particle production through interactions in the detector.

The successful candidate is expected to lead the University of Florida effort in the MiniBooNE anti-neutrino data analysis, which will include several world-first measurements, as well as the Monte Carlo effort on the Osc-SNS proposal.

Requirements: The successful candidate must hold a Ph.D. in experimental particle/nuclear physics. Preference will be given to applicants with strong experience in GEANT simulation and data analysis. Expertise with the C++ programming language is desirable. Applicants considering switching from other areas of experimental high-energy physics are encouraged to apply.

Application

Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vita, statement of research interest and skills, and a list of publications for which they can claim primary authorship. Candidates should arrange to have at least three (3) letters of recommendations submitted electronically to:

Professor Heather Ray
Email: drhray@ufl.edu

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position has been filled.
