Position Description:
Stanford University invites applications for one or more postdoc positions in the Fundamental Particles and Interactions group
in the Physics Department (
http://grattalab3.stanford.edu/neutrino/index.html).
Activities in the group range from traditional nuclear and particle physics to AMO. For the most part, the new group members should be free to work on one or two of the following projects:
- R&D for the nEXO experiment (charge collection in liquid xenon, light detection with Silicon Photomultipliers, high voltage behavior in noble liquids, exotic calibration sources). nEXO recently received the go-ahead towards CD-1 from DOE, along with appropriate funding for it.
