Postdoctoral Researcher, CMS Upgrade Project at the Helsinki Institute of Physics
Helsinki
October 28, 2024
Helsinki Institute of Physics HIP participates in the CMS and ALICE experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN CMS is a general-purpose experiment that had an essential contribution to the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012. The goal is to investigate a wide range of physics including the properties of the Higgs boson and search for BSM physics e.g. dark matter particles. ALICE is the dedicated heavy ion experiment with a versatile proton-proton (pp) physics program. In lead-lead collisions, ALICE studies properties of the quark-gluon plasma, mimicking the conditions of the early universe, whereas the pp program is strongly motivated by open questions in the theory of strong interactions. Both experiments undergo currently through a series of upgrades to prepare them for the upcoming High Luminosity LHC phase.
Directly related to the upgrade activities of these two experiments, the Helsinki Institute of Physics is searching for a:
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER
for a fixed period of 2,5 years starting as early as possible or as agreed. The work will be carried out within the CMS Upgrade Project at the Helsinki office of the institute.
The main part of the work will focus on the following tasks:
- Extensive quality control of the silicon pixel detector modules for the CMS inner tracking detector and the ALICE Fo Cal detector,
- data processing and communication of results within the experimental collaborations.
In addition, the postdoctoral researcher is expected to actively take part in detector R&D and teaching activities at our institute. Currently active detector R&D projects at the institute focus on pixelized semiconductor detectors for high energetic X- and gamma-ray detection used in medical imaging dosimetry and nuclear safety systems. Other projects concern development of radiation hard tracking detectors and ultra-thin silicon drift detectors.
The person selected for the position must have a doctoral degree in particle or nuclear physics or in an equivalent natural science field. In addition, the candidate must be familiar with the principles of radiation-matter interactions. Strong assets are hands-on experience in working and developing of ionizing radiation detectors. Profound knowledge of simulation tools such as TCAD, Geant4, MCNP, etc, is desirable. The position requires the ability to work independently in an international environment and fluent command of the English language. Especially important are careful and conscientious working standards and the ability to work in teams. The candidate must also be able to travel within Europe.
