Assistant to help format data from the Phobos experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory for the Durham HEPData data base. This will require downloading publicly available Phobos data; working with spreadsheets, python scripts, and C++ code to format the data for HEPData; and getting them through review by Phobos collaborators.
Introductory Physics I & II or equivalent, an introductory programming class. Phys 252, additional physics classes, and additional programming experience strongly preferred. Physics, nuclear engineering, or computer science major preferred.
Assignments will be evaluated on a project by project basis as this is also a learning opportunity for the candidate. Direct instructions and feedback will be given on a consistent basis to ensure the udnergraduate researcher no just complete the task assigned but that they know the purose for the research.
