The Radiation Detector and Imaging Group is looking to hire a Postdoctoral research associate to work on the development of new generation of fast timing detectors based on micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGD) technologies and for application in future nuclear physics experiments and medical imaging instrumentations. As a postdoctoral research associate in the Radiation Detector and Imaging Group (RD&I) at JLab you will join the µRWELL-PICOSEC team and work under the supervision of staff members to contribute to the conception, design, construction and characterization of µRWELL-PICOSEC detector prototypes for application as fast timing devices for particle physics experiments and the development of instrumentation medical imaging field.

In this role you will:

  *   Lead the effort on the design of the mechanical structure of the fast μrPICOSEC prototype with 3D CAD tool such as SolidWorks. Produce or check drawings for fabrication of those designs
  *   Work with senior staff of the team on the procurement and assemblies of prototypes
  *   Assist with the setup of bench test in the RD&I Group detector’s lab for testing and characterization of the prototypes
