Postdoctoral Fellow
Experimental Neutrino Physics on nEXO
SNOLAB & Laurentian University
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions, available immediately, with the Laurentian University Particle Astrophysics Group at SNOLAB, Sudbury, Canada, to support research efforts on nEXO in the search of neutrinoless double beta decay in xenon.
Candidates must hold a recent Ph.D. degree in experimental particle or nuclear physics, or in a related field, at the time of appointment. The successful candidates will take leading roles in one of these areas:
- Radioactive Background Control (Radon) and Calibrations. Demonstrated experience is required in detector development and ultra-low backgrounds. Experience in radon mitigation and in radiochemistry are assets.
- Cosmogenics and Outer Detector development. Demonstrated experience is required with Geant4 and FLUKA simulation software packages. Experience in the development of water Cherenkov detectors and in data analysis are assets.
The initial appointment will be for one year, with possible extension. Applicants should forward a Curriculum Vitae, a statement of research interests, and a list of three referees to be contacted later, by email only, directly to Prof. Jacques Farine (Jacques.Farine@snolab.ca), Emeritus Professor, Laurentian University Senior Research Scientist, SNOLAB.
