Positions will remain posted beyond their respective consideration dates until an offer has been made and accepted.
Winterover Positions
These positions serve as the IceCube “winterovers,” and successful candidates will be deployed to the South Pole for 12-13 months. Training for two candidates typically begins in Madison, WI, in July prior to deployment to the South Pole, which is generally scheduled for early October. Deployments are for 12-13 months with no possibility of leaving during the winter months from mid-February to mid-October. No active position listings at this time.
Administration
None at this time.
Engineering/Computing
This position will support the development of low-level data acquisition and communications firmware and software for the ongoing, fully funded IceCube Upgrade project and the maintenance of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The IceCube Upgrade expands IceCube’s reach to lower energies and adds more detailed calibrations, with an eye towards detector development for a larger-scale next-generation neutrino experiment, IceCube-Gen2. The ideal candidate will possess expertise in implementing custom digital communications, with experience in embedded systems, data acquisition systems, distributed sensor arrays, and a distributed, project-centric engineering effort. time.

Science/Programming
Lead Data Acquistion Scientist
This position will lead the design, development, and maintenance of the online data acquisition systems for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and subsequent future expansions. The IceCube Upgrade expands IceCube’s reach to lower energies and adds more detailed calibrations, with an eye towards detector development for a larger-scale, next-generation neutrino experiment, IceCube-Gen2. The successful candidate will work closely with a team of physicists and engineers, both locally and internationally, to expand the current IceCube data acquisition system to support new instrumentation and IceCube’s scientific goals. Job responsibilities include both technical leadership of this effort, development of embedded data acquisition systems for new IceCube sensors and calibration devices, and collaboration with graduate students and/or postdoctoral researchers on low-level data analyses.
