The Opportunity

We seek an experimental particle physicist to work as part of the Monash team within the COMET collaboration. COMET is searching for Charged Lepton Flavour Violation and is based at the JPARC facility in Japan.

The Research Fellow will be based at Monash, but work with members of the collaboration on the final preparation of the COMET experiment for its initial Phase I running, as well as first operation the of the experiment. 

The Research Fellow will be expected to make significant contributions to the commissioning of the Phase I detector, present results at major conferences and workshops, and assist in the supervision of PhD and honours students in the School.

The role demands demonstrable scientific creativity and an exceptional technical knowledge of experimental particle physics. The incumbent is expected to conduct independent research in experimental particle physics at the highest international levels and translate research outcomes into high impact publications.

The School of Physics and Astronomy is strongly committed to improving the diversity of our staff and students, and promoting a culture of equality, fairness, respect and openness. In 2015 the School received a Bronze Pleiades Award - Recognising Commitment to Advancing Women in Astronomy.
