Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

The Particle Physics group at the University of Manchester has a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Associate working on the DarkSide-20k direct dark matter detection experiment and on sensitivity studies and detector development for future liquid argon-based dark matter facilities. The Manchester DarkSide group has strong interest in preparations for exploitation of first data from DarkSide-20k in the search for dark matter, and expansion of the long-term DarkSide-20k science programme. Manchester holds key responsibilities for assembly and testing of 25% of the total silicon photosensor instrumentation for DarkSide-20k, for development of efficient light simulations for large argon volumes, and for characterisation and modelling of anomalous low energy backgrounds that can otherwise limit low-mass dark matter search potential.
