Job Summary
The Physics department in the College of Science at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) invites outstanding candidates to apply for a postdoctoral position in neutrino physics and detector R&D.
The successful candidate is expected to make important contributions to the Short-baseline Near Detector (SBND) during the commissioning and first data taking period, contribute to leading analysis of neutrino data taken within the Short-Baseline Neutrino Experiments (ICARUS, SBND, and MicroBooNE), and have the opportunity to take part in detector R&D related to the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).
The UTA high energy and nuclear particle physics group consists of faculty which work on cutting edge detector R&D, the US short and long baseline neutrino experiments, and searches for rare processes in nuclear physics.
CBC Requirement It is the policy of The University of Texas at Arlington to conduct a criminal background check on any applicant who is under final consideration for employment with the University.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities Small scale prototyping, monte carlo based analysis, and hardware instrumentation in particle detectors.
Required Qualifications PhD in experimental nuclear or particle physics. Preferred Qualifications Neutrino physics phenomenology and analysis, familiarity with HEP trigger based systems, interest in hardware and detector R&D.
Special Conditions for Eligibility Department Information The UTA Department of Physics will prepare you for a rewarding career with our innovative education and world-class research programs.
These programs are led by highly esteemed faculty and conducted in top-notch facilities which equip students for careers in industry, research, or academia.
We have many specialized undergraduate degree programs that offer an excellent foundation in physics, and our graduate programs provide advanced training in a collaborative research environment which has the Carnegie Classification’s highest rating : R1 Doctoral Universities Very high research activity.
Research and education go hand-in-hand and all students are encouraged to become active in research early in their academic careers.
