Job abstractJV_description

One position as researcher (SKO 1108) in Experimental Particle Physics is available at the Department of Physics.

The position is for a period of three years, with starting date as soon as possible.

More about the position

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN, in operation since 2010, has been a key to the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. To achieve higher luminosities the collider and its experiments will be upgraded in the mid-2020s to deliver 3000/fb by 2037. Norway participates in the ATLAS experiment and is contributing to build 3D silicon pixel sensors for the Inner Tracker. The researcher sought for will have a central role in this upgrade work, both in Norway developing a silicon pixel module assembly line and by producing modules, as well as internationally by taking part in ATLAS test-beams, collecting and analyzing data and qualifying modules for production and installation in ATLAS.

The researcher will be part of a dynamic team consisting of researchers and students from the Universities of Oslo and Bergen as well as SINTEF, and be part of the much larger ATLAS pixel collaboration with participants from all over the world.

This position will be part of the NorLHC infrastructure project, which is a 5-year project funded by the Norwegian Research Council to upgrade the LHC experiments ATLAS and ALICE and the World Wide LHC Computing Grid.T

he successful candidate will work with semiconductor pixel detectors, electrical test-systems, test beams, data analysis and development of mechanical systems. He or She will be required to interact in an international environment, meet deadlines set by the collaboration and report and present internationally. The candidate is expected to take a leading role in our physics performance validation activities, including test beam analysis, physics simulations, and module quality assurance activities and be able to coordinate and supervise PhD students when needed.
