NOTE: This is a one-year term appointment with the possibility of renewal. The LBNL ATLAS group is participating in the development and fabrication of both the silicon strip and the pixel trackers for the ATLAS detector (http://www-atlas.lbl.gov). The LBNL responsibilities in the silicon strip tracker involve design and testing of integrated circuits, and barrel module assembly and testing. In the pixel system, the LBNL role includes front-end electronics, module design/constrution, mechanical design, and eventual delivery of the pixel forward disk system.
DUTIES: Essential--The ATLAS Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has an immediate opening for a physicist/engineer/computer scientist position. The immediate emphasis will be on working with the LBNL/ATLAS silicon strips group on laboratory studies of silicon detector/electronics assemblies and preparations for production of these assemblies at LBNL.
The ideal candidate will be involved in software development of a Data Acquisition System used for both development testing and later on production testing of the silicon strips detector system for ATLAS. Ability to work on solving also problems related to data acquisition hardware (VME bus, Readout Boards) is desirable. Ability to work closely with other team members is essential.
QUALIFICATIONS: Essential--Current knowledge of programming (C, C++), gui systems (VISUAL C++), different OS implementation (Unix, Windows NT). Marginal - Knowledge of electronic circuits (and possibly VHDL language), and laboratory measurement techniques. Experience with Data Acquisition Systems using National Instrument interfaces and VME bus, is desirable.
B.S. or graduate degrees in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Sciences or equivalent experience with an emphasis on laboratory measurement techniques, Data Acquisition, and programming.
POSTING DATE: April xx, 2000.
CLOSING DATE: Open until filled.
