Full Job Description

The Relativistic Nuclear Collisions Program (RNC) of the Nuclear Science Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is seeking outstanding candidates for one or more Postdoctoral Fellow positions.

RNC scientists have significant responsibilities and contributions in ALICE at the LHC, in the STAR and sPHENIX experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and at Jefferson Lab. RNC researchers are also active contributors to the development of the physics program for the ePIC experiment at EIC and are leading the design of the ePIC Silicon Vertex Tracker.

Primary focus areas for the position(s) include:

Contributions to the ePIC Silicon Vertex Tracker, through software and simulation work and/or hardware development

Data analysis for the ALICE or sPHENIX experiments

AI/ML research in support of RNC Nuclear Physics priorities

You will:

Contribute to one or more of the focus areas described above, and/or to other RNC experimental research activities,
Publish papers/reports in refereed journals.

We are looking for:

A recent Ph.D. in experimental nuclear or high-energy physics, or a closely related field at the time the position starts,
Experience with modern data analysis, simulation, and computing,
Proficiency in written and oral dissemination of scientific results,
Ability to travel to experimental sites, collaboration meetings, workshops and conferences.

Desired skills/knowledge:

Ability to advise and coach student assistants in research.

Requested application materials: Please submit your CV, a publication list, a statement of research interests, and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent via email to John Arrington ([email protected]) and Michele Anne ([email protected]).

For inquiries regarding this search, please contact John Arrington. Applications received before April 30th will receive full consideration. Applications received after that date will be considered until the position(s) are filled.

Additional information:

Appointment type: This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes.

This is a full-time 2 year, postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. You must have less than 3 years of paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree.

Salary range: The salary range for this position is $5,757 - $6,903 per month and is expected to start at $6,475.00 or above. Postdoctoral positions are paid on a step schedule per union contract and salaries will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates. Each step represents one full year of completed post-Ph.D. postdoctoral experience.
Background check: This position is subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment.
Work modality: Work will be primarily performed at: Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA. A REAL ID or other acceptable form of identification is required to access Berkeley Lab sites (for more information ).
