Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Hadron Physics

Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Hadron Physics

Uppsala University

Uppsala, Sweden

Duties

This postdoctoral position revolves around particle tracking with deep learning within the Belle II experiment in Japan. The group has previously developed a geometric deep learning (GDL) pipeline for PANDA that has proven successful in reconstructing long-lived hyperons and slow pions. These particles pose a particular challenge for Belle II, making GDL an interesting candidate for improving track reconstruction within the Belle II software. In addition, we encourage your own ideas and initiatives.

The postdoc is expected to contribute to the general software development within Belle II, contribute to the experiment's common tasks such as beam time duty, and assist with in supervision of students and doctoral students.

Requirements

A doctoral degree in physics, or a foreign degree equivalent to a doctorate in physics, is required. The degree must have been obtained no later than the time the employment decision is made. Priority should be given to those who have graduated no more than three years ago. When calculating the three-year time frame, the starting point is the last date of application. If there are special reasons, such a degree may have been completed earlier. Special reasons refer to leave due to illness, parental leave, positions of trust in trade unions, etc.

For the specific tasks, a solid background in particle tracking and machine learning techniques is necessary. Very good oral and written skills in English are mandatory.

Additional qualifications

Experience working in Belle and/or Belle II and the co-programming languages ​​Python and C++ is a merit. Furthermore, experience in writing scientific papers and supervising students is valuable.
