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).
