Butler, Pennsylvania, United States The Pennsylvania State University Full time
Job Description

The Particle Astrophysics group at Penn State is seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our team and contribute to experimental searches for the highest energy neutrinos, multi-messenger, and particle astrophysics.

Research Opportunities

Researchers in the Wissel Lab work on several experiments deployed around the world, including in Antarctica, Greenland, and high elevation mountains. These experiments search for EeV-scale neutrinos with antennas deployed in polar ice, and balloon-borne experiments like the Payload for Ultra-high-Energy Observations (PUEO) search for neutrino interactions in the ice and upgoing tau neutrinos from a high altitude.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct research on RNO-G, a radio neutrino observatory under rapid expansion to cover a full 40 km2.
  • Contribute to event filtering, both at the hardware and software level, for RNO-G.
  • Participate in field deployment, installing and commissioning new stations for the experiment.
  • Collaborate with the Penn State group on integration, testing, and validation of the data acquisition systems for RNO-G.
Requirements

Applications will be considered from Ph.D. physicists and astronomers with strong backgrounds in particle astrophysics, multi-messenger astrophysics, particle physics, cosmic ray physics, and related fields.

Application Instructions

Applications must be submitted electronically and include a CV and brief statement of research interests. Applicants should arrange for three reference letters to be submitted to the appropriate contact, indicating the job number in the subject line.
