Are you fascinated by the mysteries of the so-called ghost particle neutrino? What is its nature, a conventional Dirac fermion or a Majorana particle? Do you enjoy collaborating and would you like to analyse data measured by a 7,000-tonne detector in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider? We look forward to your application!

As a PhD candidate, you will conduct fundamental research in experimental particle physics, perform data analysis and develop object reconstruction algorithms in the ATLAS experiment. You will become a member of the ATLAS collaboration and will be based in Nijmegen. Furthermore, you will be given the opportunity to spend 10-12 months at CERN in Geneva. Your project will be supervised by Dr Mengqing Wu (Radboud University).

This position is part of a research project called ’Are neutrinos Majorana?’, which is funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO). The main goal of this project is to search for Majorana neutrinos in the uncovered tau channel at the highest possible masses in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with our Nikhef colleagues in Amsterdam.

Your appointment will be for a fixed period of four years, starting in January 2026 or soon thereafter. It includes funding for a short secondment to CERN and travelling to international conferences. Your duties as a teaching assistant cover about 10 percent of your work time, spread over the course of the appointment.
