Post by Anze Slosar » September 22 2011

The Electronic Detector Group would like to hire a physicist with a Ph.D. in physics with emphasis on experimental particle, astrophysics or nuclear physics and at least 10 years experience in the field.

The candidate should have a recognized body of work in the field with broad contributions to scientific leadership, instrument design and construction, and data analysis. The candidate should have extensive experience in all phases of large science projects to act as deputy project manager for the LSST camera project with special responsibility for the Science Raft that includes the sensors and readout subsystems. LSST is an all-sky broadband survey enabling studies of dark matter and dark energy, optical transients and other astronomical topics. It is a multi-laboratory effort with multiple funding agencies and a large number of collaborating universities. Familiarity with the DOE Critical Decision process, including documentation, reviews, Value Engineering, Quality Assurance, and Earned Value Management is desirable. She/he should have demonstrated capabilities in communicating with scientific and engineering staff as well as accounting, cost analysis, procurement and scheduling personnel distributed across several labs and universities.

The candidate will work within the Electronic Detector Group and will work closely with the Instrumentation Division and the astrophysics groups as well as associations with other groups in the laboratory and throughout the world to carry out his/her function. The Electronic Detector Group in the Physics Department currently has ten physicists at various career levels with major current responsibilities in astrophysics and neutrino physics and a long history of research in fundamental particle physics.

Under the direction of S. Kettell, Group Leader, Electronic Detector Group, Physics Department.
