*RECRUITMENT PERIOD*

Open April 15th, 2018 through June 1st, 2018
If you apply to this recruitment by June 1st, 2018, you will have until 
June 4th, 2018 to complete your application.

*DESCRIPTION*

Search for Rare Muon Process

The experimental high energy physics group at the University of 
California, Davis invites applications for a postdoctoral research on 
the Mu2e Experiment, to be based at the Fermi National Accelerator 
Laboratory. The responsibilities of this position include elements of 
both particle physics and accelerator physics, and the successful 
candidate must have an interest in both. Candidates must have completed 
a PhD in High Energy Physics or Accelerator physics prior to beginning 
employment.

The Mu2e Experiment will search for the conversion to an electron of a 
muon that has been captured on an aluminum nucleus. This reaction is 
sensitive to a very broad range of physics beyond the Standard Model, 
and this experiment will have roughly 10,000 times the sensitivity of 
the previous best experiment.

This experiment has very specific and stringent specifications for 
proton beam delivery. Overseeing the construction and commissioning of 
the hardware required to meet these specifications, as well as the 
hardware to verify that they have been met, will be the primary 
responsibilities of this position; however, the successful candidate 
will also be expected to take an interest and active role in the physics 
goals of the experiment.

This is a full-time, 2-year postdoctoral appointment with the 
possibility of renewal based on satisfactory job performance, continuing 
availability of funding and ongoing operational needs. Candidates must 
have less than 3 years of paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for this 
position depends on experience level. This position is represented by a 
union for collective bargaining purposes and may be subject to a 
background check.

Interested candidates should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and 
statement of research interests and experience and arrange for three 
references to be sent by June 1, 2018 for full consideration, but the 
position will remain open until filled.

Women and minority candidates are urged to apply. The University of 
California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
