Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in the astroparticle physics group of Sungkyunkwan University

The astroparticle physics group of Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Korea has an immediate opening for postdoctoral research associate in High Energy Cosmic Ray experiment.

The post-doctoral associate will lead the construction of the silicon charge detector for the ISS-CREAM experiment which will be launched to the International Space Station in 2014. He or she can also carry out the experimental study of energetic cosmic rays using the existing Antarctica balloon-flight data of the CREAM experiment.

The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. degree or an equivalent degree in physics, astronomy, or a closely related field. Prior experience in the particular research areas is not required. However, we are looking for a creative and self-motivated individual who has the ability and the drive to lead the effort of our group toward the High Energy Cosmic Ray experiment.

The initial appointment is for 2 years, and can be extended to an additional one year depending on mutual satisfaction. We would like the associate to start the position as early as possible, but the starting date is negotiable depending on mutual agreement. The salary will be commensurate with experience.

Any interested candidate should send the resume and the letter of research interest to Prof. Il Hung Park at ilpark@skku.edu and Prof. Jik Lee at jiklee@skku.edu. Also the candidate should arrange two letters of recommendation (from his or her thesis advisor and immediate supervisor) sent to the same addresses.

Any inquires are welcome and should be addressed to the same email addresses.
