The University of Winnipeg Subatomic Physics Group
has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow.
Our group is a member of the Ultracold Neutron (UCN)
collaboration at TRIUMF (Canada's National
Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Science,
Vancouver) seeking to make a new measurement of the
neutron electric dipole moment (EDM).<br>
<br>
The successful candidate for this position is
expected to focus on and contribute in a significant
manner to the development of ultracold neutron
guides, neutron production and transport, and
magnetic fields for the experiment. There may also
be the opportunity to support UCN detector
development work. The position would be based in
Winnipeg; some travel to Vancouver will be
required. The candidate will be expected to develop
proposals and ideas for new experiments, such as
commissioning experiments for the proton beamline
and UCN source at TRIUMF.<br>
<br>
The person we seek will ideally have a recent PhD in
experimental nuclear, particle, accelerator,
surface, or atomic physics (or a related field),
with several years of graduate level hardware
experience in one or more of the areas of detector,
beam line, or data acquisition development, or
similar instrumentation projects.<br>
<br>
The group at the University of Winnipeg has a number
of local Winnipeg-based laboratories dedicated to
R&D for the UCN project at TRIUMF. These
include a magnetic fields R&D laboratory, laser
facilities for alkali (Rb, Cs) and polarized noble
gas (Xe) magnetometry development, and detector
development laboratories with clean-room facilities.<br>
<br>
The initial appointment will be for one year, with
possible renewal for up to two additional years,
depending on mutual agreement and availability of
funds.<br>
<br>
All qualified candidates are invited to submit
resumes, including three letters of reference by
e-mail to <a moz-do-not-send="true"

target="_blank">j.martin@uwinnipeg.ca</a> to the
attention of Dr. Jeff Martin, Physics Department,
The University of Winnipeg, 515 Portage Ave.,
Winnipeg, MB, R3B 2E9. Review of applications will
begin immediately and the position will remain open
until filled. For more information please contact
