particle astrophysics: University of Michigan<o:p></o:p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The University of Michigan Dark Matter
group invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research
Associate Position.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
