<div id="x_divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size:medium">The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research fellow in Experimental
High Energy Physics. The expected start of employment is approximately March 2019, with some flexibility. </span><br style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif">
<br style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif">
<span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size:medium">The position is renewable annually for up to three years, depending on availability of funding and satisfactory performance.</span><br style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif">
<br style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif">
<span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size:medium">The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role in the final phase of commissioning the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider and Belle II experiment in Japan in 2019, and then
physics analysis on Belle and Belle II.</span><br style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif">
<br style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif">
<span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size:medium">The candidate will be present in Japan during running of the collider, and will help measure, simulate, and reduce beam backgrounds by working as part of a machine-detector-interface group
that consists of Belle II detector, SuperKEKB accelerator, and beam background experts. Note that experience with beam backgrounds is not required to apply.</span><br style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif">
<br style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif">
<span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size:medium">This will be a unique, challenging, and rewarding task, with high visibility for a motivated young physicist. KEKB was the world’s highest luminosity collider, and beam backgrounds were already
limiting operation of some Belle detectors. At SuperKEKB, the luminosity will be 50 times higher so that a proper understanding and mitigation of beam backgrounds will be critical. The applicant will have access to the unprecedented 1000 fb-1 dataset recorded
by the Belle experiment as well as the early Belle II data.</span><br style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif">
