York, United Kingdom
Role
The successful candidate will have a strong interest in ionising radiation detector technology and experimental nuclear physics research. This post will play a key role in the construction of the R3B TRT device, which is led by the University of York and Daresbury laboratory in the UK in collaboration with our international partners. The work requires oversight of the assembly and characterisation of the detector modules, software development for data analysis, simulation and data acquisition, documentation for the assembly, characterisation and operation phases. The work also requires supporting in-beam commissioning and physics experiments at R3B. Both the assembly/characterisation phase and the in-beam experiments require extended stays at facilities away from York. This is an exciting post where the PDRA will have the opportunity to lead the developments towards the realisation of this state-of-the-art device and participate in one of Europe’s largest nuclear physics collaborations.

- PhD in Experimental Nuclear or Particle Physics or equivalent experience
- Hands-on experience with ionising radiation detection technology
- Experience with data analysis and simulations
- Ability to organise, prioritise and coordinate research work
