[Cugapost] Postdoc Position in experimental Particle Astrophysics: University of Michigan

[Lorelei Carlson]

Postdoc Position in experimental particle astrophysics: University of 
Michigan

The University of Michigan Dark Matter group invites applications for a 
Postdoctoral Research Associate Position.

The successful candidate will join our ongoing dark matter direct 
detection effort with the LZ collaboration. LZ is a 10 ton scale dark 
matter experiment that is scheduled to start science data collection in 
early 2020. It will provide unprecedented sensitivity to WIMP dark 
matter particles and play a leading role in dark matter searches over 
the next decade.

The successful candidate will be involved in the installation, 
commissioning and operation of the radon removal system for LZ at the 
Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), play a leading role in 
detector R&D at the University of Michigan, and participate in the 
development of simulation and analysis tools for the LZ experiment. 
Although the successful candidate will be stationed at the University of 
Michigan, frequent travel and extended stays at the SURF laboratory is 
expected. Previous experience in direct dark matter searches or noble 
liquid detectors will be advantageous.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D.  in experimental nuclear physics,  particle 
physics  or particle astrophysics. The position is available starting 
12/1/2018, or at a later, mutually agreed date. The initial appointment 
is for one year, renewable by mutual agreement for up to three years.

recommendation sent to:
