Particle/Nuclear Physics Postdoc
Job IRC55501
What You Will Do
The Subatomic Physics Group (P-25) is inviting applicants for a possible post-doctoral appointment. The candidate’s time would be spent on sub-GeV dark matter/photon searches at the Fermilab Short-Baseline Neutrino and E1067/SeaQuest experiments. The successful candidate will contribute to the Team’s efforts on novel searches for short-baseline dark sector signatures using the MiniBooNE, SBN liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) detectors, and the E1067/Seaquest pectrometer. Emphasis will be on running experiments, analysis and publication of current data, and motivating future experiments. Within program constraints, the possibility also exists to participate in the SBN short-baseline neutrino experiment, DUNE, and other LANL Physics Division activities.
Where You Will Work
Located in northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security. LANL enhances national security by ensuring the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, developing technologies to reduce threats from weapons of mass destruction, and solving problems related to energy, environment, infrastructure, health, and global security concerns.
