Position Summary:
The Center for Neutrino Physics at Virginia Tech invites applications for one postdoctoral associate position. The Virginia Tech group is involved in the study of neutrino oscillations. The successful candidate will work primarily on the design and commissioning of a prototype detector for the study of short baseline oscillation and reactor monitoring. The candidate will work on the preparation of an 80 channel prototype detector that will be deployed at a nuclear power reactor in Virginia by the end of the year. Work will involve hardware, data acquisition software, analysis tools and simulation development. Duties may also include supervising and coordinating the work of other researchers and personnel, especially graduate and undergraduate students. The successful candidate will be based in Blacksburg, VA but will be required to spend some period of time in Europe.
