The Henry A. Rowland Department of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a postdoctoral associate in Experimental Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics.
The Speller group conducts low-temperature experimental searches for physics beyond the standard model, with a concentration on direct searches for dark matter and neutrinoless double-beta decay. This position is for an opening within the group to perform searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay and related processes with the CUORE and CUPID collaborations. Upcoming projects will be focused on sensor testing, detector characterization, data analysis, and local detector R&D.
The applicant will be expected to work closely with graduate and undergraduate students in local hardware and software development efforts, and in the commissioning of a facility on campus to test sensors for a next generation double-beta decay experiment.
Candidates should have a PhD in experimental nuclear or particle physics or a related field. Experience in cryogenics and data analysis is strongly preferred.
Applications should consist of a CV, list of publications, brief statement of research, and three letters of recommendation.
Inquires may be sent to Professor Danielle H. Speller at dspelle1@jh.edu.
Review of applications will start on December 1, 2021 and will continue until position is filled. JHU is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from women and members of underrepresented groups. |
