Post Doctoral Associate

Job description

Classification Title: Post Doctoral Associate Job Description: A Post-doctoral Associate position is available in the field of experimental astrophysics to work on the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment led by Dr. Tarek Saab in the Department of Physics. We have a position available in our group to work on simulations, operations and data analysis for the SuperCDMS experiment. Candidates must have PhD in experimental particle physics, experimental astrophysics, or related research areas, by the time of the appointment. This position will be initially awarded for one year, and, contingent upon strong performance and conduct and availability of funds, may be renewed for up to three years. SuperCDMS is a direct-detection dark matter search experiment that looks for dark matter particles interacting in cryogenic germanium and silicon detectors equipped with sensors that detect the thermal energy released in the interactions. The SuperCDMS Collaboration has a history of world-leading dark matter results. The next-generation experiment, featuring novel detector upgrades, is currently being installed in SNOLAB, located 2 km underground in the Vale Creighton Mine near Sudbury. The science goals o...
