The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), conducts world-class research in particle physics, particle astrophysics and cosmology, and photon science. In the fields of particle astrophysics and cosmology, the laboratory is closely integrated with the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) of Stanford University.
SLAC invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position to work with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) at SLAC. The LAT, the primary instrument of the Fermi mission, has been surveying the sky since June 2008, and the LAT data are spurring a number of advances in high-energy astrophysics and in the search for dark matter. SLAC hosts the LAT Instrument Science Operations Center (ISOC) and is responsible for the calibration, initial data processing, and monitoring of the science data for the LAT. Research at SLAC related to Fermi focuses on the indirect search for dark matter and on cosmic particle acceleration.
For details about the LAT, its operations, and science see:
- glast.stanford.edu/ and
- fgst.slac.stanford.edu/ .
The appointee will conduct research with Fermi and related multiwavelength data and play significant roles in instrument performance monitoring, analysis, and optimization in collaboration with the ISOC. Applicants should hold a recent Ph. D. in Physics or Astrophysics. The appointment, which offers competitive salary and benefits, is for two years, with the potential for subsequent annual renewals subject to satisfactory performance. Applicants should provide a statement of research interests, a CV, and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent. All applications should be submitted through the web interface at:
- academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/4353/ .
Please specify your priority interest as the Fermi-LAT position.
The deadline for receipt of documents is November 15, 2014, although late applications may be considered until the position is filled. Informal inquiries regarding the position may be addressed to:
postdoc-recruit[at]kipac.stanford.edu
(for more questions, you can also contact digel[at]stanford.edu or any of Fermi-LAT colleagues at SLAC).
