| The International Center for Hadron Astrophysics (ICEHAP) at Chiba
University invites applicants for a tenure-track Assistant
Professorship to promote multi-messenger astronomy realized by high
energy neutrinos with associated multi-wavelengths, or gravitational
wave observations. The successful candidate is expected to be a
leader in promoting multi-messenger observations with the IceCube
Neutrino observatory and its future upgrade, the IceCube-Gen2
facility.
ICEHAP at Chiba University is one of the world-leading research groups on
high energy neutrino astronomy. Achievements led by ICEHAP include
the first discovery of the PeV-energy neutrinos, world-leading
cosmic neutrino searches in the ultra-high energy region, discovery
of the anti-electron-neutrino induced Glashow resonance, as well as
the first identification of an astronomical source emitting
ultrahigh-energy neutrinos with IceCube 170922A. Information about
the history and scientific results from IceCube can be found at
http://www.icehap.chiba-u.jp/en/icecube/index.html
. ICEHAP also plays several core roles in the development and
production of optical detectors for the on-going IceCube Upgrade, and
is currently deeply involved with design of the detector for
IceCube-Gen2. Further details can
be found at
http://www.icehap.chiba-u.jp/en/icecube/icecubegen2.html.
ICEHAP and Chiba university provide a competitive startup package,
computing facilities, and laboratory space for detector development.
We are seeking a well-motivated Ph.D physicist/astronomer with a
desire to enthusiastically enhance the multi-messenger observations
led by IceCube and IceCube-Gen2. Particularly, interests in
enhancing the detector performance related to this goal are highly
appreciated.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D or equivalent in physics or a closely related field.
The review of applications will begin April 18th, 2022,
however, applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
Citizens of all nations are welcome to apply.
Chiba University is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. We are particularly interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity of our academic community. ICEHAP is committed to promoting cross-disciplinary research of neutrino astronomy and relevant fields
in a multi-cultural environment. About half of the researchers in the Division of Neutrino Astronomy are non-Japanese citizen.
