Position Description:
Position Description
We invite applications for a
postdoc position at the University of Zurich (UZH) in
detector R&D for particle physics research. We are
interested in finding outstanding, strongly motivated
candidates with the drive to pursue important new research
technologies in silicon detectors for particle physics
applications. Our groups play a major role in the
CMS pixel-detector upgrade, as well as data
analysis, software, and operations of the CMS detector.
We are engaged in silicon detector R&D efforts
including precision timing detectors using pixelated
low-gain avalanche (LGAD) detectors as well as
light-weight, monolithic active pixelated sensors (MAPs)
for future collider-physics applications.
A PhD in experimental particle
physics and research experience in detector
instrumentation are required. Experience with electronics, and good software skills are
desirable. Experience with detector simulation and analysis
is also beneficial. The ideal candidates will have interest
and experience with silicon detector instrumentation.
Applicants
should upload a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research
statement, publication list, and arrange three or more
letters of recommendation to be submitted by the reference
writers at: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29553
Materials
should be received by Feb. 10th. Complete applications
will be considered immediately. Applications received
after that date will be considered until the position is
filled.
Inquiries
concerning the position can be made to Prof. Ben
Kilminster (ben.kilminster@physik.uzh.ch)
and
Prof. Florencia Canelli (florencia.canelli@physik.uzh.ch).
