Description of Work Unit | Founded in 1870, Colorado State University is among the nation’s leading research universities and enrolls approximately 32,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Located an hour north of the Denver metro area, Fort Collins is a vibrant community of approximately 157,000 residents that offers the convenience of a small town with all the amenities of a large city. Fort Collins is situated on the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains with views of 14,000 foot peaks, and offers access to numerous cultural, recreational, and outdoor opportunities. The Department of Physics is comprised of 20 regular full-time faculty members with research programs in theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; and high-energy and particle astrophysics. Research activities often require the construction and modification of custom scientific instrumentation. Information about the Department of Physics may be found at http://www.physics.colostate.edu. This site also has links to information about Fort Collins and environs. It is an attractive community of about 160,000 inhabitants on the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, 65 miles north of Denver. Colorado State University has an enrollment of about 32,000 students and the department teaches approximately 4,000 students per year. Fort Collins is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the United States. The position will be in Prof. Gehrlein’s HEPPA theory group which focuses on neutrino physics and the phenomenology of a variety of models beyond the Standard Model of particle physics and has close ties to Prof. Berger’s HEPPA theory group. Furthermore, members of the theory group interact with the HEPPA experiment groups who work on several forefront experiments to explore the fundamental properties of neutrinos: the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), T2K, NOvA, Fermilab Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program, EXO-200 and nEXO. The HEPPA program has been designated a Colorado State University Program of Research and Scholarly Excellence. |
Position Summary | The High-Energy Physics theory group of Prof. Julia Gehrlein in the Department of Physics, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, seeks applications for a 2 year postdoctoral fellow position in theoretical particle physics with the possibility for a 1-year extension subject to available funding.
