Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Atomic Physics
Columbia University Astrophysics Laboratory is inviting applications for
a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in Experimental Atomic
Physics. The successful candidate will join the group headed by Dr.
Daniel Wolf Savin and will participate in measurements of dielectronic
recombination and electron impact ionization to be carried out at the
TSR heavy ion storage ring located at the Max Planck Institute for
Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in Heidelberg, Germany. The research is being
carried out in collaboration with the group of Prof. Dr. Andreas Wolf at
MPIK and Prof. Dr. Alfred Mueller at Justus-Liebig-University in
Giessen, Germany. The first year of the position the candidate will be
based in Heidelberg, Germany with travel to New York and Giessen as
needed. The second year of the position will be based in New York with
travel to Heidelberg and Giessen as needed. A third year is possible
depending upon mutual satisfaction and the availability of funding.
Screening of applicants will begin on December 10, 2008, and will
continue until the position is filled.
Laboratory skills required include single particle ion detectors and the
associated electronics, magnetically guided electron beams,
understanding of accelerator and storage ring physics, and ultrahigh
vacuum systems. Computer skills required include programming,
multidimensional data analysis, Linux OS, and Windows OS. The applicant
should have a strong background related to at least some of these areas
listed above. Demonstrated written and oral communication skills are
required. Proven research ability, evidence of future research
potential, the ability to work both independently and cooperatively with
others is preferred. Columbia University is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. Requirements include a Ph.D in
Physics, Applied Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Astrophysics or a
related discipline.
Applicants should submit a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae
