Research Position for Physics in Dark Matter – not for CSE credit

FYI, this sounds like it would be for credit, but it won’t be CSE credit since it isn’t overseen by CSE faculty.

Hello,
I was instructed by my Prof at ADMX to contact you all in regards to located an undergrad for some work we need done. Below is the job description:

The Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX) has a position open for an undergraduate research assistant working for academic credit or research experience and interested in web applications, data acquisition and visualization systems, and particle physics.  ADMX is a cryogenic RF-cavity search for axion dark matter in our galactic halo, and is located at CENPA at the University of Washington.

The experiment will begin running this fall, and we are looking for an programming-minded undergraduate to upgrade and modernize our web-based control and data-display system. Knowledge of  javascript is  required, and a desire to learn on the job. You will be working with someone who is proficient in HTML and php so if you know either of these languages it would help but not required. Research assistant will be expected to upgrade and maintain web applications, respond to bug reports and change requests from users in a timely manner, write well ordered and commented code and provide documentation on usage and code organization.  Aesthetic sense also desirable. This is a great opportunity to work on one of the most exciting projects surrounding Dark Matter.
Please contact Xavier Frost at xgfrost@uw.edu or 206-462-0506 if you are interested
Thanks
