Date: Jun 3, 2023
Location: Oak Ridge, TN, US, 37830
Company: Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Requisition Id 10710
Overview:
The Physics Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is seeking an exceptional experimental R&D Staff Member with an excellent instrumentation, physics, and management background to join the Relativistic Nuclear Physics (RNP) Group in the Fundamental Nuclear and Particle Physics Section of the Physics Division.
The Relativistic Nuclear Physics Group has a strong track record of developing large scale instrumentation for particle and nuclear physics experiments and leading impactful physics analyses in the field. The group is currently collaborating on the ALICE Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where it has recently completed the construction of the readout upgrade of the Time Projection Chamber and contributed to the construction of the ALICE silicon-based Inner Tracking System based on monolithic active pixel sensors. In collaboration with the sPHENIX Experiment at RHIC, a similar tracker has been developed for which ORNL led the development of the streaming readout electronics. Additionally, the group is heavily committed to the design and construction of the ePIC Detector for the future Electron Ion Collider (EIC) situated at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The group recently joined the heavy ion physics program of the CMS Experiment at CERN working on the construction of a new low-gain avalanche diode-based timing detector. The focus of this position will be to lead the ORNL involvement in the EIC physics program and contribute to the success of the international EIC program through the construction and management of the ePIC detector. The candidate is also expected to contribute to the other areas of research within the relativistic nuclear physics group. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of the long-term strategy of the group and develop relationships with appropriate sponsors in federal agencies. In addition, the candidate will contribute to research to conceptualize, develop, and demonstrate novel sensor technologies for nuclear physics detectors.
