Postdoctoral Associate in Computing for High Energy Nuclear Physics The successful candidate will contribute to the R&D of analysis tools for the very high statistics datasets as produced by PHOBOS and the future LHC experiments. We participate in the development of the Parallel ROOT framework (PROOF), its integration with Grid technologies and its applications to the analysis of current data. The work is performed in close collaboration with the ROOT development team. Our group, the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Group at the MIT Laboratory of Nuclear Science is heavily involved in the PHOBOS experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. We have also started preparations for the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) currently under construction in Geneva. Applicants should have a Ph.D. and preferably a background in nuclear physics or high energy physics. Strong experience with software development in C++ and network programming is required and experience with Linux clusters, Perl or Apache is a plus. Interested candidates should submit a curriculum vitae and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to: Prof. Gunther Roland, p/a Anna Convertino, Room 24-422, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. E-mail: Gunther.Roland@cern.ch. Screening of applications will begin immediately.
