Description The cosmic microwave background is the most important source of information about the geometry and contents of the Universe. The CMB group at JPL is large and broad, covering experiment design and fabrication, analysis, and theory, and is active in both orbital (Planck) and sub-orbital (e.g., QUIET) experiments. Opportunities exist in all areas.
