Postdoctoral Fellow position with the DarkLight Collaboration at UBC/TRIUMF

The Canadian group in the DarkLight collaboration has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher to join us in a search for new bosons in the mass range from 10 to 20 MeV using the TRIUMF/ARIEL e-linac. The successful applicant will join a small international collaboration and be based at TRIUMF in Vancouver, BC. The brief and intense schedule for the DarkLight experiment means that this position provides a unique opportunity for a young postdoctoral researcher to participate in a particle physics experiment from the design stages right through data taking to a final result during their time at TRIUMF.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Simulation software
• Testing and development of trigger detectors
• Assisting with supervision of junior HQP
• Commissioning and running of experiment
• Documentation and communication of results

Qualifications and Experience:

The successful candidate should be interested in all areas of experimental work and have relevant particle physics experience. Ideally this would include: experience in detector development, expertise in simulation and data analysis with fluency in C++, ROOT, and python, the ability to work well in a group, good communication skills, and an interest in supervising and mentoring students. Additional experience with GEANT4 or data acquisition systems would be a special asset. 

Applicants must hold a PhD (received within 5 years) in Particle or Nuclear Physics by the starting date of the position.

Potential applications must:

Upload a cover letter, a brief statement of research interests, and a detailed CV with a list of publications to Workday at
