Position Description:    

*** this position has been closed and new applications are no longer accepted. ***

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the field of neutrino physics. The successful applicant will work in Prof. Carlos Argüelles' group on the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory, perform data analysis, study multimessenger astrophysics, and develop neutrino phenomenology. 

The group focuses on searching for new physics with IceCube, performing fits to global neutrino data, and working on neutrino phenomenology. The postdoctoral scholar will carry out research related to neutrino physics with IceCube, lead efforts to analyze the global neutrino data, and develop neutrino phenomenology. Candidates with strong expertise in either neutrino phenomenology, particle astrophysics, machine learning, and data analysis are strongly encouraged to apply, as these skills will be preferred in the selection process. The appointment duration is up to three years, with reappointment contingent upon funding and research collaboration. 

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a statement of the applicant's previous or proposed efforts to improve diversity in science, a statement of research interest, and arrange for three (3) letters of reference to be sent electronically to Felice Gardner (felice_gardner@fas.harvard.edu), or by mail to:
