The Caltech experimental high energy physics group is seeking highly qualified candidates for one or two Postdoctoral Scholar positions associated with the BABAR collaboration. The BABAR experiment is currently collecting high statistics data at the PEP-II B factory for the study of CP violation, other properties of B meson decays, and a host of other physics topics. Successful candidates will be expected to join in fulfilling the Caltech group's institutional responsibilities in data acquisition, monitoring, and triggering software; and will also be encouraged to participate immediately in the analysis of the large and growing data set. They will also have the opportunity to take a role in the upcoming BABAR upgrade program.

These positions are available as soon as possible. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in high energy physics and demonstrated strong potential for outstanding achievement as an independent researcher. Experience with HEP software development, object-oriented analysis and design, and real-time software will be advantageous. Exceptionally qualified candidates with previous postdoctoral experience may be appointed at the Senior Postdoctoral Scholar level.

Interested applicants should send a curriculum vitae, list of publications, and a description of research interests and skills; and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to either Professor David Hitlin (email: hitlin@hep.caltech.edu) or to Professor Frank Porter (email: fcp@hep.caltech.edu), Physics Department 356-48, Caltech, Pasadena, CA 91125. Caltech is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Women, minorities, veterans, and disabled persons are encouraged to apply.
