The particle astrophysics group at Alberta has openings for one or two postdoctoral researchers on the DEAP/CLEAN, SNO+ and PICASSO experiments. The successful candidate(s) will join our activities developing dark matter, solar neutrino, and double-beta decay experiments for SNOLAB (see http://cpp.phys.ualberta.ca). This will include the design, modeling, construction, testing and commissioning of ultra-low-background detectors, as well as the development of software for Monte Carlo simulations and data analysis. All positions will be based at the University of Alberta and may involve travel to the SNOLAB facility in Sudbury (see http://www.snolab.ca).
The successful candidates will have a PhD in experimental particle astrophysics, nuclear or particle physics, or in a closely related field. The original appointment will be for two years, renewable for a third year. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Applicants should include a detailed CV, a brief statement of research interests, and arrange to have at least three letters of reference forwarded to:
