Postdoctoral research associate positions in Low-Temperature Detectors for Underground Astroparticle Physics

The Center for Underground Physics at Institute for Basic Science, Daejeon in South Korea has immediate openings for Postdoctoral research associates in underground astroparticle physics. Successful candidates will be involved in low-temperature detector development for experiments on astroparticle physics including searches for neutrinoless double beta decay (AMoRE). Collaborative research on new experiments on low-mass dark matter detection and novel detector technologies will be a part of the activities. Most of the work will be carried in IBS laboratories in Daejeon, YangYang Underground Laboratory, and Yemilab at Jeounseon.

Candidates should have a Ph.D in the past 5 years and a strong experimental background in one or more of the following fields: cryogenic particle detection, metallic magnetic calorimeters, characterization and fabrication of detector sensors, studies on condensed matter at low temperatures, Monte Carlo simulations, and other relevant subjects. The annual salary will be at least 50M KRW (roughly 46K USD) depending on skills and experience of the applicant.

Those interested should send their CV, a brief description of their research interests in one page, a list of publications featuring three highlights, and two reference letters by Sep 30, 2021.

For more information, candidates should contact Yong-Hamb Kim at yhk@ibs.re.kr. Application documents should be sent to Mr. Kyoung-min Son recruit1@ibs.re.kr. Reference letters should be sent to Mr. Son directly by the writers.

For the full consideration, the application and letters should be submitted by Sep 30, 2021 while the application is open until the positions are filled.
