Position Description

The High Energy Physics Division at the Argonne National Laboratory has a postdoctoral opening in the Intensity Frontier Group, focusing on precision muon physics.

The Division performs cutting-edge research facilitated through advanced detector development, high-performance supercomputing (HPC), a superconducting test magnet facility and innovative electronic and mechanical engineering.  The successful candidate will majorly contribute to the development of improved calibration and analysis techniques and take a lead in the data analysis for the Muon g-2 experiment. Participation in the ongoing data taking at Fermilab will allow the successful candidate to take an active role in the experiment and interact with the entire collaboration.

Please feel free to contact Peter Winter (winter@anl.gov) for more details on the opening.
