We are currently accepting applications for a tenure-track Research Scientist position. We invite applications from outstanding scientists who have a proven track record in neutrino or particle-astrophysics, the desire to attract and mentor postdocs and graduate students, and the ability to establish an effective research program.
The successful candidate will be expected to play a leading role in the long baseline neutrino physics program at TRIUMF, in collaboration with university and international partners. TRIUMF has been taking a leadership role in the on-going neutrino physics program in Japan, including the recently approved Hyper-Kamiokande experiment and the ongoing T2K experiment. TRIUMF researchers lead the Intermediate Water Cherenkov Detector (IWCD) project for Hyper-K and the Water Cherenkov Test Experiment at CERN, a prototype experiment for the IWCD. The TRIUMF neutrino group is also developing an integrated program of photon detection (with multi-PMT photosensors), calibration (with photogrammetry and ex-situ photosensor characterization) and event reconstruction (with machine learning techniques) for water Cherenkov detectors.
