The AMoRE is an experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay utilizing low temperature sensors coupled with molybdate crystals containing enriched Mo-100 isotopes. We are currently running AMoRE-I with 6 kg of the molybdate crystals, and are preparing AMoRE-II experiment with 200 kg of molybdate crystals which is scheduled to begin in early 2022 at the new underground lab, Yemilab in Korea. The successful candidate will work on some fields of the preparation of AMoRE-II detector systems, the background reduction, the data acquisition and analysis, the simulations for understanding backgrounds, etc. Applicants should send a CV, a brief research statement, a list of publications, and two letters of recommendation to Mr. Ma-Young Kim (mykim@ibs.re.kr). Any questions or inquires for the position shall be asked to Prof. Yeongduk Kim (ydkim@ibs.re.kr).
