The Chemistry Division has a project-base opening for a researcher at the RS2 level to take a leading role in developing next-generation technologies for detection of neutrinos in underground detectors; in particular, to develop a new detector liquid, Water based Liquid scintillator (WbLS), that could be used in a new generation of large underground detectors. Such a technology has now progressed from the benchtop to large scale demonstration at BNL. This is a new initiative with opportunity for scientific leadership. Simulation and R&D work towards a conceptual design for a detector for the Sanford Underground Research Facility is expected. Opportunities also exist for participating/leading in various related research topics carried out by the Neutrino and Nuclear Chemistry group including involvement in dark matter search as well as generic liquid detector R&D for other frontiers.
Brookhaven National laboratory and the Energy and Photon Sciences Directorate are committed to your success. We offer a supportive work environment and the resources necessary for you to succeed.
