Post-Doctoral Research Associate Position in

Particle Astrophysics


The University of New Mexico has an active program in dark matter research and is a member of the DRIFT collaboration.  In addition, we are involved in generic R&D for dark matter experiments.  The UNM group is comprised of 2 graduate students, 1 Postdoc and 3 Professors.  We are currently seeking to fill a postdoctoral position on the DRIFT dark matter experiment.  DRIFT is the only working experiment aimed at detecting the directionality signature expected from the WIMPS predicted to form dark matter.  Candidates must have (or be near completion of) a Ph.D. in experimental physics, with demonstrated skills in hardware and data analysis.  Experience with gaseous detectors is particularly relevant.  Applicants should submit (electronically preferred) a letter of interest, CV, and a list of 3 references to:
