Description
The Wilson Fellowship at Fermilab seeks applications from Ph.D. physicists of exceptional talent with at least two (2) years of experience beyond Ph.D. The Fellowship is awarded on a competitive basis and is intended to support outstanding assistant professor-level physicists early in their careers. It provides unique opportunities for self-directed research in experimental physics through work on the Fermilab particle physics experiment of the candidate's choice. The Fermilab experimental program includes collider and cosmic physics, studies of neutrinos, muons, and research at the intersection of high energy physics and quantum information science, as well as R&D and planning for future experiments. This year we are particularly interested in applications focused on neutrino and collider physics. As an organization, Fermilab is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining diverse talent and cultivating a work environment that supports scientific, technological, and operational excellence. Fermilab and the Wilson Fellowship Committee value candidates who show potential for growth and scientific leadership. Minoritized individuals, candidates from outside particle physics or with non-traditional career paths are encouraged to apply. Successful candidates are expected to respect and value individual differences. The appointment is for an initial term of three (3) years with the possibility for renewal for an additional two (2) years upon completion of a successful review after the first two (2) years; thereafter, the potential exists for eventual appointment without term limit. Successful candidates are expected to abide by all environment, safety, and health regulations. Qualifications and Essential Job Functions - Demonstrated ability to carry out independent research. Ph.D. in Physics or relevant subject. 2+ years of experience beyond Ph.D. - Demonstrated experience in experimental particle, cosmic physics or related field. - Established ability to lead and conduct experimental measurements. - Excellent oral and written communication skills as demonstrated by presentations at conferences and a strong record of publications in professional journals. - A distinguishing characteristic of Wilson Fellows is leadership demonstrated through intellectual, organizational, or technical accomplishments. Position may include prolonged computer work, visually demanding work and tight work schedules. In addition, the ability to travel by automobile and/or commercial air carrier both domestically and internationally may be required, as well as the ability and a willingness to work in underground experimental areas. Position may include work in confined spaces and/or with high voltage, and exposure to cryogens and ionizing radiation. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may be required of the position, including the ability to wear eye/face, foot, hand and hearing protection and respirators. Application Instructions Interested candidates should apply via AcademicJobsOnline:https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29589 Each candidate should submit: 1. Cover Letter 2. Curriculum vitae 3. Research statement not to exceed three (3) pages giving a focused description of the proposed research program as a Wilson Fellow. 4. Three letters of reference via AcademicJobsOnline. Applications, including letters of reference, must be complete by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025.
