Postion in HERA-BFrom: CommentsPlease find the following information received from HERA-B. Tatsuya --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-Doc Position in DAQ for the HERA-B experiment at DESY ---------------------------------------------------------- The DESY laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral position for work in the area of data acquisition and higher level triggering for the HERA-B experiment. HERA-B will measure CP-Violation parameters in the B meson system. The experiment is presently being installed in the HERA storage ring at DESY, Hamburg. HERA-B uses collisions of 920 GeV protons with a wire positioned close to the proton ring to produce B mesons. The decay products are analyzed in a forward spectrometer. The high interaction rates (40 MHz) and large particle densities force HERA-B to push the state of the art in several areas of detector technology, triggering and data acquisition. The higher level triggering and data acquisition system is the first large switch-based system which relies on high-speed data paths connecting the primary event data to a farm of commodity PCs. Similar architectures are being planned for the LHC experiments. Data taking has begun but many challenges remain. The successful candidate will play a major role in evolving the architectural design, programming, commissioning and operating the system. Familiarity with the C programming language is required. Experience with the Linux operating system and client-server computing would be an asset. Interested persons, who have recently completed their Ph.D. and who should be younger than 32 years are invited to send their application including a resume and the usual documents (curriculum vtae, list of publications, copies of university degrees) until 15 of December 1998 to 'DESY, Personalabteilung -V2-, Notkestrasse 85, D-22607 Hamburg'. They should also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent until the same date to the address given above. Handicapped applicants with equal qualifications will be prefered. DESY encourages especially women to apply. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
