We are seeking candidates for one or two postdoctoral positions within Phobos,
one of the first experiments to use ROOT and adopt it as the standard data
analysis framework.
Phobos is one of the experiments approved for running at the Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider at BNL when it begins operation in 1999. It is a high
rate experiment, primarily constructed of silicon detectors, designed to study
hadrons produced in heavy ion collisions. The main physics goals of Phobos
are to study the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions expected to occur
in the strong interaction under conditions produced during collisions at RHIC.
I) Research Associate, Yale University
(contact manly@hepmail.physics.yale.edu)
We are seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position with the Phobos
group at Yale University. The successful applicant will become the offline
tracking expert for Phobos, which is a critically important and challenging
position. The track density in Phobos is expected to be high for the most
central collisions, so experience in track-finding is desirable. The
offline software for Phobos is written in C++ within the ROOT framework and
knowledge of these is desirable. Interested candidates should send a
curriculum vita along with the names and addresses of three individuals
who can act as references to: Prof. Steven Manly, Yale University Physics
Dept., 564 J.W. Gibbs Laboratory, P.O. Box 208121, New Haven, CT
06520-8121. Yale University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
employer.
II) Research Associate, Brookhaven National Laboratory
(contact: mark.baker@bnl.gov)
We anticipate funding for a postdoctoral position with the Phobos group at
Brookhaven National Laboratory. The successful applicant will have strong
scientific and software skills and will be expected to contribute both code and
leadership within the Phobos offline analysis group. The offline software for
Phobos is written in C++ within the ROOT framework and knowledge of these is
desirable. Interested candidates should send a curriculum vita along with the
names and addresses of at least three individuals who can act as references to:
Dr. Mark Baker, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Bldg. 555A, P.O. Box 5000,
Upton, NY 11973-5000. Brookhaven National Laboratory is an equal
opportunity/affirmative action employer.
