Associate Position</b><br>
in Gaseous Detector Development for an Experiment at a Future
Electron-Ion Collider<br>
<br>
The Department of Physics & Space Sciences at Florida
Institute of Technology in<br>
Melbourne, Florida seeks to fill an opening for a Postdoctoral
Research Associate in a<br>
hardware R&D project on gaseous detectors. The R&D is
targeted towards tracking and particle<br>
identification in a large-scale experiment at a future
electron-ion collider at Brookhaven National<br>
Laboratory or at Jefferson Lab. Technologies under study are
large-area GEM detectors, and<br>
GEM-based micro-TPC and light-gas RICH detectors. Applications are
welcome from<br>
candidates with a Ph.D. degree in experimental nuclear or
high-energy physics. A successful<br>
candidate will have substantial experience with construction,
commissioning, and operation of<br>
gaseous particle detector systems and associated electronics −
preferably with micropattern gas<br>
detectors. The successful candidate will be based at Florida Tech,
but is expected to support<br>
ongoing R&D at collaborating institutions U. of Virginia,
Stony Brook U., and Brookhaven<br>
National Lab. The candidate will be required to spend substantial
time in residence at the other<br>
sites. At Florida Tech, he/she is expected to organize and guide
students participating in the<br>
project. <br>
<br>
Interested candidates are requested to submit their CV, a list of
publications, contact<br>
information for three references, and a description of relevant
research experience to Prof.<br>
Marcus Hohlmann by e-mail ONLY at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:hohlmann@fit.edu">hohlmann@fit.edu</a>. Letters of
recommendation only<br>
need to be furnished if explicitly requested. Applications will be
reviewed until the position is<br>
filled, but applications received by Oct 30, 2012 will be reviewed
with highest priority. Florida<br>
Institute of Technology (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.fit.edu">www.fit.edu</a>) is a leading private
academic research institution in the<br>
Southeastern United States located near NASA’s Kennedy Space
Center and is an Equal<br>
Opportunity /Affirmative Action Employer.</font><br>
