[Cuga] Research Scientist position available at Virginia---a message from Craig Dukes

[Rachel Harris]

Research Associate Position
Experimental Particle Physics
University of Virginia

The Experimental Particle Physics group at the University of Virginia 
has an immediate opening for a research associate in the field of 
experimental
elementary particle physics.  The research goals of our group include the
investigation of the fundamental symmetries of nature.  We are playing a 
leading role on two Fermilab experiments:  NOVA, which is currently 
being built and will start taking data in early 2011, and Mu2e, which is 
in the R&D stage.  NOVA will be one of the seminal neutrino experiments 
in the
coming decade; Mu2e, a flagship experiment for the future Fermilab 
high-intensity physics program, will search for lepton flavor violation 
with unprecedented
sensitivity.

The Virginia group has major responsibilities for the construction of 
the near and far NOVA neutrino detectors: we are solely responsible for 
the fabrication of the power distribution system.  On Mu2e we are 
leading the Cosmic Ray Veto detector group, which will be fabricated at 
Virginia.

The successful applicant will be resident at Fermilab and is expected to 
take a leadership role in the NOVA physics analysis, and to participate 
in the Mu2e R&D program.  Applicants must have a PhD in experimental 
particle or nuclear physics.  The position is immediately available and 
will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found.  Interested 
candidates should send their curriculum vitae, a description of their 
research interests, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to 
be sent to:

Prof. E. Craig Dukes Department of Physics University of Virginia P.O. 
Box 400714
Charlottesville, VA 22904-4714 USA

or via e-mail to craigdukes at virginia.edu

The University of Virginia is an equal opportunity/affirmative action 
employer.
Women and members of underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
