Post-doctoral Position in Experimental Particle Physics at the 
University of Mississippi 
 
The experimental particle physics group at the University of Mississippi 
is seeking applicants for a post-doctoral position to work on the Muon 
Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) at Rutherford Lab in the United 
Kingdom. The initial position is for one year may be renewed.
 
The University of Mississippi is working with the Lawrence Berkeley 
National Lab (LBNL), Fermilab, and Rutherford Lab to fabricate, install, and 
commission 201 MHz radio frequency cavities for the Muon Ionization 
Cooling Experiment (MICE). The RF cavities accelerate muons after they 
are cooled by hydrogen absorbers.  The motivations for cool muons are 
the generation of intense neutrino beams and an energy frontier muon 
collider. For more details see our IPAC 2010 paper, "Normal Conducting 
RF Cavity for MICE,"

Job Responsibilities: The duties will installation and commissioning
of radio frequency hardware at the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE).
Much of this  work will be done at LBNL-Berkeley with visits to Rutherfod Lab.

Qualifications/Skills: The candidate should have a Ph.D. in experimental
particle physics or accelerator physics.  Experience with radio frequency 
hardware is desirable.

The search committee will begin reviewing applications immediately. 
Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. 
Applicants should apply online at jobs.olemiss.edu where a CV and 
statement of research interests should be posted.
