진학프로석·박사 채용 접수 플랫폼

We look for applicants able to work in a team, with experience in programming in Geant4, ROOT and Python. Experience with data acquisition/analysis and hardware development (including cryogenic and vacuum techniques, and electronics) will also be considered an asset.

We are seeking applicants who received their Ph.D. in astrophysics, experimental particle or nuclear physics or related fields within the past 7 years (the period may be extended in accordance with the guidelines provided in the competition documentation on the website: 
https://www.ncn.gov.pl/sites/default/files/pliki/uchwaly-rady/2023/uchwala50_2023-zal1_ang.pdf#page=58, page 61). Candidates approaching their Ph.D. defense are also invited to apply (Ph.D. title will be required to start the employment).

The primary responsibility of a researcher for this position will be the development of technology for dual-phase TPCs (amplification and readout), with the ultimate goal of improving the performance of argon-based detectors. The research will include the design and characterization of novel optical amplification structures for future dark matter detectors, as well as of a new dual-phase TPC at AstroCeNT, that will be used to assess the impact of the gas-liquid interface in the performance of such detectors and the minimisation of delayed (spurious) events. The successful candidate will actively participate in the construction of new prototype detectors which will pave the way for future detectors (DUNE, DarkSide-LM).

A high level of proficiency in English is required.

Scope of work includes:

• - development and optimisation of the Monte Carlo simulation of the dual-phase TPC;
• - update of the simulation to include surface effects;
• - preparatory work and tests of hardware components/sensors to be installed in the dual-phase TPC;
• - participation in the data measurement campaigns;
• - perform data analysis, including cross-checks and results validation;
• - presenting scientific results at conferences;
• - preparing technical notes and publications;
• - co-supervision of PhD students;
• - being prepared to apply for grants.
