Description:
Located on the South Campus of the University of British Columbia, TRIUMF is Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics and accelerator based sciences. We are an international centre for discovery and innovation, advancing fundamental, applied, and interdisciplinary research for science, medicine, and business. We are as diverse in our areas of expertise, people, and cultures, as we are in our career opportunities, and we are constantly seeking dynamic team players who thrive on creativity and excellence.
TRIUMF is a partner of the Canadian Particle Astrophysics Research Centre (CPARC), a program supported by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF). TRIUMF, in partnership with Queen’s University, is currently accepting applications for a joint tenure-track Research Scientist position in particle-astrophysics. We invite applications from outstanding scientists who have a proven track record in neutrino or particle-astrophysics, the desire to attract and mentor postdocs and graduate students, and the ability to establish an effective research program as a part of the CPARC program.
The successful candidate will be expected to lead a neutrino physics or particle-astrophysics program at TRIUMF and develop a scientific and technological link with the neutrino and particle-astrophysics physics programs at TRIUMF and SNOLab. TRIUMF was part of the successful SNO experiment, and is currently playing important roles in several SNOLab projects, including EXO-200/nEXO, DEAP-3600, SNO+, and HALO. TRIUMF has also been taking a leadership role in the on-going long baseline neutrino physics program in Japan, T2K, as well as in proposed projects, NuPRISM and Hyper-Kamiokande. In addition, the successful candidate is expected to contribute, develop, and strengthen collaborations between TRIUMF and Queen’s University.
