Post-Doctoral Fellow

The Laboratory for Particle Physics and
Cosmology at Harvard University
invites applications for a Post-Doctoral
Fellowship to be associated with the MINOS and NOνA neutrino
oscillations experiments.
The MINOS experiment, now running at
Fermilab, is studying neutrino oscillations over a 735 km baseline. The
Harvard group has been concentrating on the search for oscillations of
muon-type neutrinos into electron-type neutrinos. However, the
successful applicant will have considerable freedom in pursuing physics
interests of his or her
choice.
The NO
νA
experiment will be the second-generation experiment on Fermilab’s NuMI
beamline and will be optimized for the study of muon-type neutrino into
electron-type neutrino oscillations. The Harvard group is taking major
responsibility for the front-end electronics and will participate in the
development of the analysis programs. The division of the successful
applicant’s effort between the MINOS and NOνA
experiments will depend on
the construction schedule of the NOνA
experiment, which is uncertain as
of this posting.
Applicants for this position should have a
Ph.D. in experimental particle physics. The position is available
beginning immediately or at a negotiated time. Applications are being
considered now and will be considered until the position is filled.
Applicants should send a curriculum vita,
a list of publications, and a description of research interests and
skills, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to

affirmative action employer. Applications from women and minority
candidates are especially encouraged.
