Postdoctoral Position in Neutrino Physics at Oregon State University
The Experimental Neutrino group at Oregon State University invites
applications for a postdoctoral scholar position on the protoDUNE,
DUNE and MINERvA neutrino experiments.
The successful candidate will participate the development of novel
computing infrastructure for the upcoming ProtoDUNE run at CERN and
the future DUNE neutrino experiment in the US and in analysis of data
from ProtoDUNE and/or the MINERvA neutrino cross-section experiment at
Fermilab. Both protoDUNE and DUNE are large liquid Argon Time
Projection chambers which produce detailed images of hadron and
neutrino interactions ranging in size from 170 MB (protoDUNE) to 400
TB (DUNE supernova). Computational challenges range from algorithms
for processing of very small signals from low energy neutrino
interactions, through simulation of the unique environment in large
liquid detectors, to large-scale distributed computing across over 30
collaborating sites worldwide. See
https://inspirehep.net/literature/1791807 for some details of the DUNE
project.
Oregon State University is located in Corvallis, OR. Candidates have
the option of being located in Corvallis or at Fermilab in Batavia IL.
Applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae and list of
publications and arrange for at least three letters of reference to be
sent via academicjobsonline to
Prof. Heidi Schellman
