FASER (ForwArd Search ExpeRiment) is an experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) designed to search for new light and weakly interacting particles and to study high-energy neutrinos produced in LHC collisions. FASER has opened a new window into collider neutrino physics through the first observations and studies of neutrinos produced at a particle collider. Looking toward LHC Run 4 and the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), the FASER Collaboration is developing an upgraded electronic neutrino detector to cope with the substantially higher luminosity and particle rates. UCI is leading the development of a highly-segmented plastic scintillator detector with SiPM readout for the FASER neutrino detector upgrade, designed to provide electronic tracking and calorimetric measurements of neutrino interactions. The successful candidate will play a leading role in the R D and construction of a new plastic scintillator- and SiPM-based neutrino detector for the FASER experiment in preparation for LHC Run 4 and the HL-LHC era. The position will also involve related work in detector simulation, AI/ML software development, and data analysis within the FASER experiment. Responsibilities will include leading the construction and assembly of FASER's new plastic scintillator- and SiPM-based neutrino detector, integrating the detector electronics and readout systems, and contributing to detector testing, commissioning, and optimization. Experience with plastic scintillator- and SiPM-based detector systems is preferred. UCI's FASER group has played a leading role in the conception and development of FASER and its collider neutrino program and the UCI group is actively involved in developing next-generation neutrino detector technologies for FASER Run 4 and the HL-LHC era. The position requires the ability to travel to CERN as needed. We seek candidates with a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics and demonstrated expertise in both detector hardware and software/data analysis. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted. Applications must be submitted through UC Irvine's online recruitment system, RECRUIT, at: https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF10126 Please note that this posting is a general postdoctoral pool ad at UCI; in your cover letter, you should specify the job title "Postdoctoral Researcher in FASER." For general information about this position, please contact Professors Jianming Bian, bianjm@uci.edu and Jonathan Feng, jlf@uci.edu . We are reviewing applications as they are received. The position will remain open until it is filled. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1617701064024-0'); }); Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Sign up for job alerts Get new jobs for this search by email Email jobs More searches like this Particle & nuclear
