Graduate Position, TRIUMF – SiPMs for nEXO
This position represents an open-ended call for applicants. Applications and communications from qualified, interested candidates are welcome at any time. The position will be removed when it has been filled.
This position is open to those with or finishing an undergraduate degree in physics, engineering, or related equivalent who have a strong interest in experiment strategy and neutrinos. This opportunity is to be a 2 year Master’s of Science (MSc) project.Domestic and International candidates are welcome to apply.
The successful candidate will work on a strategy for the selecting silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) to be used in the nEXO experiment under the supervision of Prof. Fabrice Retière at TRIUMF in Vancouver, British Columbia. On-site work will be a major component of this position, and the project includes working with cutting edge neutrino detecting technology as well as the experiment development process.
The potential project would include the development and implementation of the strategy for testing and selecting 10,000 SiPMs for the nEXO experiment when construction begins in 2022.
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Fabrice to begin the application process. Please note that the deadline to apply for Fall semester acceptance is April 1, but applications are welcome at any time.
