SCIPP: Specialist (Ongoing Pool)



The Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for an ongoing pool of SCIPP Specialists, with duties similar to that of technician or engineer in the industrial sector. SCIPP is a pioneer in the development of silicon detectors for elementary particles with expertise in both silicon micro-strip and pixel detectors and fast timing detectors, as well as radiation tolerant readout electronics for such detector systems. Some of the major projects in which SCIPP is presently involved include the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, particularly the upgrade of ATLAS for the High Luminosity operation, the Heavy Photon Search experiment at Jefferson National Laboratory, and microelectrode array systems for neurobiology.

Under the direction of the SCIPP Director and a designated SCIPP Research Scientist (see current list of SCIPP Research Scientists at http://scipp.ucsc.edu/personnel/index.html), the Specialists will contribute technical skills to make scientific and scholarly contributions to SCIPP research projects by assisting with instrumentation development and production, implementing and monitoring safe laboratory practices, fostering collaborative relationships with other scientists and agencies, and contributing to technical publications, presentations, and/or reports.

All candidates are expected to have micro-electronics assembly and testing experience. Example projects may include silicon strip module assembly, thin high-bandwidth cable testing, test development for characterizing unique sensors or ASICs.

Applicants with experience in any of the following areas are strongly encouraged to apply:
  • CAD-based design for analog electronics or mechanics
  • Industrial automation
  • Advanced instrumentation development
  • Advanced degree in Physics, Engineering or related fields

Appointments will be made at the Junior Specialist to Specialist titles depending on education, qualifications, and years of research experience. For more information on the Specialist rank qualifications, please visit https://apo.ucsc.edu/policy/capm/602.330.html

The campus is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.
