Postdoctoral Fellow in Experimental Particle Physics
Postdoctoral Fellow in Experimental Particle Physics
Stockholm University
Stockholm, Sweden
The applicant will be placed in the Astroparticle and Elementary Particle Physics division at Stockholm University. The division is part of the ATLAS and IceCube collaborations, and is deeply committed to hardware upgrades for both experiments. The division is also involved in the FCC and HyperK projects. The announced position is to focus on the ongoing development of new instrumentation for the high-luminosity upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at CERN, and detector design and physics studies for future collider experiments. Interest and experience in printed circuit board assembly and chip design, FPGA programming and neuromorphic hardware for modern applications of machine learning are meritorious.
The postdoctoral fellow position is advertised in connection with the new EDUCATE initiative from the Swedish Research Council (VR) which aims to (i) provide critical links between cross-disciplinary efforts at the OKC to address the mystery of dark matter and dark energy; (ii) establish new lines of research in instrumentation and detector technologies, and develop advanced machine learning analysis tools; and (iii) train a new generation of scientists with expertise in the next-generation instrumentation and data analysis techniques.
Main responsibilities
The applicants to this position are expected to
- Contribute to the installation and commissioning of the new readout electronics for the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter;
- Take a leading role in detector design and physics studies for future collider experiments;
- Assist when necessary in the supervision of master students and PhD students;
- Primarily be based at the Department of Physics in Stockholm, with opportunities for extended periods based at CERN.
Qualification requirements
Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.
Assessment criteria
The degree must have been completed at latest before the employment decision is made, but no more than three years before the closing date. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances. Special reasons refer to sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.
We seek a self-motivated candidate who wishes to take a leading role in our research programme. Previous experience within detector design, instrumentation and experimental analysis techniques relevant to the project is considered as an advantage but is not required.
A suitable background is a PhD in experimental particle physics.
