Postdoctoral
Research Associate
Area of
Research: Particle Physics Experiment
Department
of Physics
University
of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
The
Department of Physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign invites
applications for a postdoctoral research position in particle physics
experiment. The successful candidate will work in the Nuclear Physics
Laboratory research group. The primary
focus of the fellowship would be Project 8, an experiment to provide a direct
measurement of the neutrino mass using Cyclotron Radiation Emission
Spectroscopy (CRES) of electrons near the tritium endpoint. Our responsibilities in the experiment
include design, optimization and fabrication of the magnet systems and
magnetometry as well as development of a cryogenic atomic tritium source.
The
Postdoctoral Research Associate is a full-time position appointed on a 12-month
service basis. Applicants
must have completed a Ph.D. in physics earned within ten years of the
position’s start date. The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility
of extension based on performance and funding. The anticipated start date is January
2027 but is negotiable. Salary is
competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience, while also
considering internal equity. This position will be expected to work at the
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus and possibly at collaborating
institutions on a full-time basis per the University’s Workplace Flexibility policy. This position is eligible for work
authorization sponsorship.
To apply,
please submit cover letter, CV, and three letters of reference by December 1,
2026, directly to Prof. Douglas Beck (dhbeck@illinois.edu). Review of applications will
begin on that date and will continue until the position is filled.
This
position is intended to be eligible for benefits. This includes health, dental,
vision, life insurance, a retirement plan, paid time off, and tuition waivers
for employees and dependents.
The
University of Illinois must also comply with applicable federal export control
laws and regulations and, as such, reserves the right to employ restricted
party screening procedures for applicants.
