About the role

  • The position is in the Electronic Detector Group (EDG) in the Physics Department at BNL.
  • EDG has a long history in the study of kaon, muon, heavy flavor physics (Belle II) and neutrino physics.

Responsibilities

  • In collaboration with the Instrumentation Division, the group performs R&D in electronics, detector design, and event reconstruction for liquid-argon TPCs (LArTPC).
  • In collaboration with the BNL Chemistry Department, the group performs R&D on liquid scintillator and water-based liquid scintillator detectors.
  • In collaboration with the Computational Science Initiative, the group develops new software and computing infrastructures to advance Intensity Frontier research.
  • Develop and refine physics analyses of current LArTPC neutrino experiments, focusing on neutron-capture-on-argon tagging techniques, searches for supernova relic neutrinos, and neutrino oscillation measurements.
  • Lead efforts in advanced photon detector simulation, detector and cryogenic readout prototyping, integration, and assembly, and perform cryogenic tests and efficiency measurement, in collaboration with lab scientists.
  • Document research results and publish papers in scientific journals.

Skills

  • PhD in experimental particle, nuclear physics, or related fields.
  • A strong interest in experimental instrumentation R&D.
  • Demonstrated experience with simulation and physics data analysis.
  • Strong programming skills and proficiency in modern languages such as C++ and Python.
  • Demonstrated track record of publication of research in high-quality peer-reviewed journals.
  • Direct experience with photon detector technologies (e.g., SiPMs, light guides).
  • Hands-on experience with cryogenic readout electronics.
  • Familiarity with Noble Liquid detector technology.
  • Candidates must have received a Ph.D. by the commencement of employment.
  • Initial 2-year term appointment subject to renewal contingent on performance and funding.

Compensation

  • Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to providing fair, equitable and competitive compensation.
