• Post Doctoral Positions for High Energy Neutrinos

  Post-Doctoral Position working on the KM3 Neutrino detector
  Applications Deadlines: November 2000
  We have proposed for the resources for two or three candidates - two software and one hardware oriented.

  Current post docs include: John Jacobsen, Jodi Lamoureaux, Azriel Goldschmidt, and Ivone Albuquerque. Ivone Albuquerque's position is funded by the NSF KDI program from the Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering (CISE) Directorate. This is part of a larger effort approaching new computational challenges in cosmology. This will involve collaboration with other KDI participants and post docs, the KM3 & AMANDA collaboration, and NERSC (National Energy Research Scientific Computing) center. The two major areas of effort for this neutrino post doc are data mining the large data set currently being produced by the AMANDA detector and the development of a multistep and interactive simulation of a kilometer scale detector and its technology. We already have the application from one qualified candidate.

  Azriel Goldschmidt's position is more hardware oriented and has been focused on the development of an optical digital module string deployed in the South Pole deep ice in the season (1999/2000). Azriel is working on processing the data and analyzing the results.

• Post-Doctoral Position working on the Planck Surveyor satellite to measure CMB anisotropies and determine cosmological parameters.
  Application Deadline: December 2001
  

• Post-Doctoral Position working on COMBAT (Cosmic Microwave Background and Analysis Tools) project to develop software for analysis and visualization of large data sets. Has a particular emphasis on the CMB data processing and analysis tools.
  The first position has been offered to and accepted by Julian Borrill, who started on September 1st, 1997. This is a position in collaboration with the NERSC (Scientific Computing Center at LBNL).
  A second position was taken by Radec Stompor beginning August 1998.

• Post-Doctoral Position working on the Galactic Emission Mapping (GEM) project - position not yet funded Domingos Barbosa will devote a portion of his time to this project.
  Application Deadline: March 1999
