Position Description

The Department of Physics at the Ohio State University, along with the Center for Cosmology and Astro Particle Physics (CCAPP), is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to work on experimental high-energy neutrino physics under the supervision of Prof. Zoya Vallari. 

The group is involved in several key analyses, hardware, and operations projects for the neutrino oscillation experiments NOvA and DUNE, as well as in the combined oscillation analyses between NOvA and T2K. The Post Doctoral Scholar will take a leading role in data analysis, calibration, operations, and software development projects within these experiments .

This position is anticipated to be affiliated with CCAP, providing the postdoc with the opportunity to join a community of postdocs for discussions, seminars, professional development, and cross-collaboration. 

Applications should include a cover letter (optional), curriculum vitae (including a list of publications with significant contributions), and a description of past and proposed research (up to 3 pages). Candidates for this position will be asked to provide at least three letters of recommendation. 

Review of applications will begin on March 31, 2025 and will continue until the position is filled with a suitable candidate. 

Inquiries may be directed to Zoya Vallari at zoya@physics.osu.edu. 

Minimum Education Required:
The candidate must have either completed a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics or be on track to complete their Ph.D. by the time of appointment. 

Required Qualifications
  • Demonstrated independence and exceptional ability in research 
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate and work with a diverse group of people 
  • Demonstrated mentorship, science-communication and outreach
