The Nuclear and Particle Physics Software (NPPS) Group in the Physics Department at BNL participates in BNL’s nuclear and particle physics experiments and programs such as DUNE, the ATLAS experiment at CERN, the Belle II experiment at KEK, the sPHENIX experiment at BNL, and many others. Working with the experimental groups, scientists and software developers in NPPS group design, develop, maintain and apply scientific software for the experimental programs in the Department.
The NPPS Group has an opening for a postdoctoral associate position to work on DUNE software and computing development with a particular focus on prompt processing and databases. You will play a central role in advancing workflows and algorithms to be used by DUNE in the analysis of data from both prototypes and future detector modules. The work will focus on designing the software, algorithms, and workflows that will enable LAr TPC scientists to perform efficient and world-class measurements utilizing a variety of computing platforms and architectures. The successful candidate will bring their physics expertise and learn from a team of world-leading HEP-software experts and extreme-scale computing experts from BNL to advance modern software development. The position has potential to extend effort and expertise to other experiments as well over time.
The successful candidate will be experienced in nuclear and/or high energy physics software development. We are seeking a physicist with strong software skills and an interest in a scientific software career path, individuals prepared to focus on software and computing while also making world-class physics measurements with LAr TPC detectors. This position has a high level of interaction with an international and multicultural scientific community.
