Palo Alto, California, United States Penn State University Full time
Job Description

The Particle Astrophysics group at Penn State University is seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral researcher to join their team. The successful candidate will work with Professor Stephanie Wissel on experimental searches for the highest energy neutrinos, multi-messenger, and particle astrophysics.

Research Opportunities

The Wissel Lab is involved in 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. The postdoctoral scholar will have the opportunity to contribute to searches for the highest energy neutrinos in the flight data.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct research on PUEO, a balloon-borne experiment searching for neutrino interactions in the ice and upgoing tau neutrinos from a high altitude.
  • Contribute to building and testing instrumentation on the PUEO instrument.
  • Travel to contribute to integration activities and may conduct field work in Antarctica.
  • Be embedded within the Particle Astrophysics group and the Center for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (CMA) at the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos (IGC).
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 job number in the subject line.
