NOTE: Depending on the experience and qualifications of the successful candidate, this will be a term position with expectation of becoming a career appointment or, for very well qualified candidates, an immediate career appointment. The LBNL ATLAS group is participating in a major way in the development and fabrication of both the silicon strip and the pixel trackers for the ATLAS detector. The LBNL responsibilities in the silicon strip tracker involve design and testing of integrated circuits, hybrid design and fabrication, and barrel module assembly and testing. In the pixel system, the LBNL role includes front-end electronics, module design/construction, mechanical design, and eventual delivery of the pixel forward disk system.
DUTIES: Essential -- Expected to take an immediate leadership role in the development and later construction and operation of the ATLAS silicon tracking systems. There will be opportunities to participate in the analysis of data from the ATLAS detector. The current job location is at LBNL with frequent travel to CERN but with the expectation of residency at CERN during the final assembly, commissioning and initial operation of the ATLAS silicon tracking system.
QUALIFICATIONS: Essential -- A minimum of two years of hands-on experience with detector hardware systems. Experience with silicon detectors is desirable. A Ph.D. in experimental particle physics or equivalent experience is required.
