The K0TO Experiment
Post-doctoral position on the K0TO Experiment
The CDF/K0TO high energy physics group at the University
of Michigan seeks a qualified applicant for post-doctoral research in
experimental high energy particle physics. Candidates should have a
Ph.D. in particle physics.
The K0TO experiment is designed to discover and measure
the FCNC rare decay of a K-long into a pion and two neutrinos. K0TO is
situated at JPARC (near Tokai) in Japan. The Michigan K0TO effort is led
by Professor Myron Campbell and Research Scientist Monica Tecchio. The
K0TO collaboration has members from Michigan, University of Chicago,
Arizona State University and institutions in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and
Russia.
The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to take a
leadership role in the construction of the trigger and readout
electronics. The first data collection run is scheduled for 2011, and
the postdoc is expected to participate in the analysis of the data to
search for the rare decay. The work is primarily at the University of
Michigan; travel to Japan is required.
Candidates should send a letter of application, vitae,
list of publications, and at least two letters of reference, preferably
all by email, to
myron@umich.edu, or by mail to:
Professor Myron Campbell
450 Church St
Randall Lab
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1040
Applications will be accepted until the position is
filled. E-mail inquiries should be sent to
myron@umich.edu.
The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity
employer and we actively encourage applications from women and minority
candidates.
