Postdoctoral Scholar - KATRIN and Project 8

Job description

Description Postdoctoral Scholars on KATRIN and Project 8 We invite applications for two full-time, 12-month Postdoctoral Scholar positions in the area of experimental nuclear physics, on direct measurements of neutrino mass, in the Physics Department at the University of Washington (UW). The base salary range for this position is $5705–$6500 per month, commensurate with experience and qualifications or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination. The successful candidates will be involved in two experiments, KATRIN and Project 8 , that probe the neutrino mass by precisely measuring the beta decay spectrum of tritium. We envision that one position will involve full time work on Project 8 and one will be a split between KATRIN and Project 8. We welcome candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, including but not limited to nuclear, atomic, precision measurements, particle, or astroparticle physics. Previous experience in one or more of the following topics is preferred: neutrino experiments, silicon detectors, ultra-high vacuum, tritium gas handling, magnetometry, cryogenic engineering, charged-particle trapping, atom trapping and cooling, RF/microwave...
