[Cuga] Postdoc openings - LUX experiment - Case Western Group---a message from Dan Akerib/Tom Shutt

[Rachel Harris]

The Dark Matter Group at Case Western, led by Professors Tom Shutt and 
Dan Akerib, have openings for postdoctoral positions on the LUX dark 
matter experiment.  LUX, for which Shutt is the Co-Spokesperson, is 
constructing a large-scale dark matter detector with unprecedented 
sensitivity. Detector construction is ongoing at the Surface Facility at 
the Sanford Lab in the City of Lead, South Dakota. Following surface 
commissioning it will be installed in the "Ray Davis" cavern, site of 
the famous solar neutrino experiment at the 4850 level. Our group has 
major responsibility for detector design and construction, and Xe 
purification, as well as involvement in operations, simulations and 
analysis. The successful candidates will also have the opportunity to 
participate in DUSEL-related R&D projects aimed at subsequent tonne and 
ten-tonne scale LXe experiments. The Case Physics Department is home to 
the Center for Education and Research in Cosmology and Astrophysics -- 
CERCA regularly hosts visitors, workshops, and other activities 
(http://cerca.case.edu).  Interested applicants are asked to send an 
electronic application in PDF format to LUX_postdoc at phys.cwru.edu 
<mailto:LUX_postdoc at phys.cwru.edu> . Applications should include a 
curriculum vitae and contain your full name in the PDF filename. The 
candidate should arrange for three letters of reference to be emailed to 
the same address. To receive full consideration, completed application 
including reference letters should be received by June 15, 2010.

Preference will be given to applicants with strong backgrounds in data 
analysis, detector operations, particle detectors, data acquisition and 
electronics, low-background techniques and purification methods, and/or 
Monte Carlo simulations. Qualifications include a Ph.D. in physics or a 
closely related field. In employment, as in education, Case Western 
Reserve University is committed to Equal Opportunity and Diversity. Case 
is a recipient of a National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional 
Transformation Grant to increase the participation of women in Science 
and Engineering.
