<p id="description"><strong>DESCRIPTION</strong></p>
<p>Search for Rare Muon Process</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The experimental high energy physics group at the University of
California, Davis invites applications for a postdoctoral research
on the Mu2e Experiment, to be based at the Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory. The responsibilities of this position
include elements of both particle physics and accelerator physics,
and the successful candidate must have an interest in both.
Candidates must have completed a PhD in High Energy Physics or
Accelerator physics prior to beginning employment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Mu2e Experiment will search for the conversion to an electron
of a muon that has been captured on an aluminum nucleus. This
reaction is sensitive to a very broad range of physics beyond the
Standard Model, and this experiment will have roughly 10,000 times
the sensitivity of the previous best experiment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This experiment has very specific and stringent specifications
for proton beam delivery. Overseeing the construction and
commissioning of the hardware required to meet these
specifications, as well as the hardware to verify that they have
been met, will be the primary responsibilities of this position;
however, the successful candidate will also be expected to take an
interest and active role in the physics goals of the experiment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is a full-time, 2-year postdoctoral appointment with the
possibility of renewal based on satisfactory job performance,
continuing availability of funding and ongoing operational needs.
Candidates must have less than 3 years of paid postdoctoral
experience. Salary for this position depends on experience level.
This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining
purposes and may be subject to a background check.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interested candidates should send a cover letter, curriculum
vitae, and statement of research interests and experience and
arrange for three references to be sent by June 1, 2018 for full
consideration, but the position will remain open until filled.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Women and minority candidates are urged to apply. The University
of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.</p>
