We are seeking exceptional candidates to join us and work in the fields of fundamental neutron physics. LANL is leading major efforts in this field. Our current projects include: (1) development of a cryogenic experiment to search for the neutron electric dipole moment (the SNS nEDM experiment), (2) precision measurement of neutron decay parameters using cold neutrons (the Nab experiment), (3) a measurement of the neutron lifetime using bottled ultra-cold neutrons (the UCNτ experiment) and development of its upgrade (the UCNτ+ experiment), (4) development of a new room temperature experiment to search for the neutron electric dipole moment using the LANL ultracold neutron source (LANL nEDM experiment), and (5) development of an experiment to measure the neutron beta asymmetry using ultracold neutrons (UCNA+ experiment). In addition, we are exploring applications of ultracold neutrons for material characterizations. For this search, the successful candidate is expected to work on our SNS nEDM effort. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to publish her or his results to the international community and to further his/her career by speaking in a variety of venues. She or he will join teams of other postdocs and staff members as well as university collaborators. | | | | | | What You Need Minimum Job Requirements: The successful candidate will have a strong background and publication record in experimental nuclear and particle physics, or closely related field. Evidence of good communication skills is also required. Desired Qualifications: Prior experience with one or more of the following is not required but is desired: · Precision measurements in atomic, nuclear, particle, or astroparticle physics · Electric dipole moment experiments · Experiments that use superfluid helium · Experiments that use ultra-cold neutrons or cold neutrons Education: A PhD in experimental nuclear physics or related field completed within the last five years or soon to be completed is required.
