• Low-background detection and cryogenic environment development for superconducting devices in the Colorado Underground Research Institute (CURIE)
• Develop and lead new physics research directions within the scope of the BeEST and SALER experiments for neutrino physics and fundamental symmetries
• Organize and lead the local research efforts in Colorado including mentoring a large team of student and staff researchers
• Interact with university, industry, and laboratory collaboration partners on various aspects of the technical and scientific components of the experiments, including travel and extended work on-location.

Benefits

• Flexible health and dental care options
• Generous sick/vacation time
• Fully vested retirement plan on first day of employment, with generous employer contribution
• Tuition benefits (6 credits per year for employees, 50 percent discount for dependents)
• Free RTD Ecopass
