Appointment Type 	Full Time
Purpose of Position 	

The Department of Physics, Computer Science and Engineering at 
Christopher Newport University invites applications for an Associate 
Scientist or Postdoctoral Fellow in Physics, effective August, 2018. 
This is a non-tenure track, one year, benefited appointment contingent 
upon receipt of funding. The possibility of yearly renewal is dependent 
on performance and continued grant funding. This is a sponsored research

a National Science Foundation grant. Applicants must be committed to 
undergraduate research and demonstrate the potential for excellence in 
research with students.

The Associate Scientist or Postdoctoral Fellow will develop and maintain 
software infrastructure for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave 
Observatory focusing on LIGO metadata and data characterization. The 
successful candidate will develop new software infrastructure to support 
the LIGO research mission; operate, maintain, and enhance the Data 
Quality Segment Database services for LIGO, including the web-interface, 
software packages, and command line utilities in response to user 
requests; operate, maintain, and enhance the low-latency segment 
generation infrastructure for LIGO, including the software used to 
generate, transfer and publish this metadata.

The Ph.D. in Physics, Computer Science or a closely related field is 
required for the Postdoctoral Fellow level. Candidates who possess the 
Master’s Degree in Physics, Computer Science or related field will be 
considered at the Associate Scientist level.

The successful candidate must have demonstrated experience with software 
development; experience with Python, git, and Linux/UNIX software 
development; and possess the ability to travel. Preference will be given 
to those who have experience working with LIGO or other scientific data 
analysis software, and software development.
