University of Cincinnati Postdoctoral Fellow, Physics, College of Arts & Sciences in Cincinnati, Ohio

Postdoctoral Fellow, Physics, College of Arts & Sciences Current UC employees must apply internally via SuccessFactors > http://bit.ly/UCEMPL Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati ranks among the nation's best urban public research universities. Home to more than 50,000 students, 11,000 faculty and staff and 340,000 alumni, UC combines a Top 35 public research university with a physical setting The New York Times calls "the most ambitious campus design program in the country." With the launch of Next Lives Here, the Cincinnati Innovation District, a $100 million JobsOhio investment, nine straight years of record enrollment, worldwide leadership in cooperative education, a dynamic academic health center and entry into the Big 12 Conference, UC's momentum has never been stronger. UC's annual budget tops $1.65 billion and its endowment totals $1.8 billion. The University's overall regional economic impact exceeds $10.6 billion, paving the way for the future of Cincinnati. Job Overview The Experimental Neutrino Physics Group at the Department of Physics within the University of Cincinnati's College of Arts & Sciences invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position centered on data analysis using advanced fitting methods, and the development of state-of-the-art Deep Learning-based particle identification and reconstruction tools for the DUNE and NOvA neutrino experiments. Research at the Experimental Neutrino Physics Group at the University of Cincinnati focuses on searches for Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) oscillations and advanced particle identification and reconstruction techniques. The group members hold leading roles on the DUNE and NOvA experiments, including the primary leading role in installation, data taking, and data analysis with the NOvA Test Beam detector and beamline. Further, the Department's High-Energy Physics group has active programs in both experimental and theoretical research, with experimental efforts including the BELLE, BELLE II, BaBar, and LHCb Intensity Frontier experiments, and theoretical efforts focused on flavor physics and dark matter. The selected candidate will be expected to, under direct supervision, make substantial contributions to research on DUNE and NOvA, with potential opportunities including DUNE BSM studies with advanced fitting methods, NOvA Test Beam data analysis and integration of its results with NOvA's analyses, improved Machine Learning reconstruction tools for NOvA, and DUNE cold electronics testing and deployment during Far Detector installation. The candidate will be expected to work with applications of machine learning algorithms and/or advanced statistical and computational methods to particle physics problems. This position will be preferably based at Fermilab, but that is not explicitly required Essential Functions Duties will be focused on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and the NuMI Off-Axis Electron Neutrino Appearance (NOvA) Experiment, including potential contributions to the NOvA Test Beam experiment. Will conduct research in experimental particle physics centered on Data Analysis for the DUNE and NOvA neutrino experiments. Assist in manuscript writing and presentation of research results. Minimum Requirements All of the following are required prior to effective appointment date: Doctoral Degree in Physics or a closely related area. Academic research background in analysis of Experimental High Energy Physics data sets. Required Education Doctoral Degree in the appropriate field or discipline, or the recognized terminal degree Required Trainings/Certifications N/A Required Experience In-depth knowledge of specialized field, process or discipline. May require experience with specialized software programs. Application Process In
