United Kingdom Cerncourier Full time

Research Associate on the Dune Experiment
3 year Fixed Term Contract
Location: The successful applicant will be based at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot, Oxfordshire
Hours: Full Time (We understand the importance of work-life balance and are happy to discuss the possibility of flexible working with applicants)
Applications are invited for a Research Associate position in Experimental Particle Physics to work on novel neutrino oscillation analysis techniques for DUNE within the Particle Physics Department (PPD) at the STFC Rutherford Appleton laboratory. PPD is one of the largest Particle Physics groups in the UK and contributes to all major PP experiments in the UK. PPD has been involved in the DUNE collaboration since early 2018 and provides technical leadership of the DUNE DAQ project.
DUNE will make use of a movable detector, DUNE-PRISM, that can change its position relative to the neutrino beam to sample different neutrino energy ranges. The successful applicant will take a leading role in the development and presentation of this analysis and as such will build skills in a broad range of DUNE physics, simulation, and reconstruction topics. In addition to research on DUNE, the successful applicant will have the opportunity to work on the NUISANCE framework, which is a widely used neutrino cross-section data preservation and event generator tuning toolkit that will play a central role in current and future neutrino interaction model development.
D. in Particle Physics or a similar field. D. in Particle Physics or similar qualification Experience of working on particle physics experiments
-Good knowledge of C++ or similar multi-paradigm, compiled language
-Ability to undertake original research and work independently with high degree of self-motivation
-Fluent English and able to communicate & work collaboratively with large groups of people from many different countries
Our team works on the DUNE Long-Baseline Neutrino Oscillation analysis, which requires the use of large-scale shared computing resources. Improved understanding of the effects of event reconstruction in liquid argon detectors and the neutrino beam simulation on the analysis will be possible areas of focus for the post. The majority of DUNE analysis code is written in modern C++ and is steered by shell scripts via existing Fermilab computing tools. Any experience in these areas may be considered a plus, however training will be provided.
There will be some travel required, including frequent trips to Europe and the USA.
We are offering a 3 year FTC with a whole host of benefits including:
~30 days holiday (in addition to 10.5 bank holidays and privilege days).
~ Flexible working hours.
~ An excellent defined average salary pension scheme.
~ Employee shopping/travel discounts.
~ Excellent learning and development opportunities.

We are invested in crafting an environment that is welcoming and encouraging of all, to help us achieve the highest possible standards in our work and organisation together. As one of Europe’s largest research organisations, this is a place where there’s always something new to learn –about the world around us, about your career, but most of all, about yourself.
