Description:
The Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Hawaii at Manoa, seeks candidates for a postdoctoral fellowship in the area of experimental high energy particle physics and astrophysics, to pursue research in the current focus areas of radio and microwave-frequency detector development for ultra-high energy particles.
UH is currently one of the leaders in several initiatives in radio detection of high energy particles, including: (1) The NASA-funded Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) mission; (2) The Askaryan Calorimeter Experiment (ACE), developing microwave-based picosecondparticle detectors for future high energy physics experiments. (3) The ExaVolt Antenna Superpressure balloon mission.
Minimum Qualifications: PhD in physics, astrophysics or a closely related field.
Desirable Qualifications: Experience with radio frequency or microwave hardware or measurements; Realtime embedded system programming in C,C++, in a linux environment is a plus.
Candidates with a background in experimental high energy particle physics or astrophysics are encouraged to apply. Fellowship Stipend is commensurate with experience and qualifications.
To Apply: Applications should be directed, along with 3 letters of recommendation, to the attention of Professor Peter Gorham, gorham@phys.hawaii.edu .
Electronic correspondence is encouraged.
