Post-doctoral Researcher Position in Experimental Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory

 

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) is seeking a post-doctoral researcher in experimental nuclear and particle
astrophysics to start in the Fall 2008.  Major research activities include participation in the MAJORANA Collaboration's efforts to
develop a 76Ge based neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment and in the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) Experiment, a next

generation tritium beta decay experiment to measure directly neutrino mass.  The group also has efforts underway in SNO+, a 150Nd

neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment, the DEAP/CLEAN dark matter search, low-background assay underground at the

Kimballton Mine, and with LENA carrying out nuclear astrophysics cross-section measurements. There are opportunities for the

successful candidate to participate in simulation studies, real-time data acquisition, design and construction of hardware and

electronics, initial physics runs and data analysis. Applicants should have received a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear, particle or

astrophysics within the last 3 years, or be expecting a Ph.D. before starting the position.  Interested candidates should send a

Curriculum Vitae, list of publications, and statement of research interests to the address below. Applicants should also arrange to have

three letters of recommendation forwarded to:

Screening of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. UNC is an equal opportunity employer. Women

and underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply.

 

 

Post-doctoral Researcher Position in Experimental Biomedical Optics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) is seeking a post-doctoral researcher in experimental biomedical optics to start immediately.  Research activities include the use of optical coherence imaging techniques and acoustic wave propagation to develop novel biomedical and functional imaging techniques.  The position includes the opportunity to build a new shearing interferometry system as well as conducting experiments on our existing state-of-the-art optical coherence tomography system.  For more information please see the Coherence Imaging Laboratory website. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a related field such as physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or similar.  A successful applicant has a track record of peer-reviewed publication, has received a Ph.D. within the last 6 years, and has related research experience and a demonstrated ability to learn new areas needed for this position.

Screening of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. UNC is an equal opportunity employer. Women

and underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply.

Interested candidates should send a C.V. and statement of research interests to the email address below.  After pre-screening, candidates may be asked to have 2 letters of recommendation sent on their behalf.
