Darkside/sbnd Postdoctoral Research Associate

6 months ago

Edinburgh, United Kingdom University of Edinburgh Full time

**UE07: £37,099 to £44,263**

**College of Science & Engineering / Physics & Astronomy / Particle and Nuclear Physics**

**Fixed term contract: Two years**

**Full time contract: 35 hrs per week**

The Edinburgh Particle Physics Experiment (PPE) group is excited to be able to offer a postdoctoral researcher position thanks to its successes in obtaining funding to aid exploitation of existing and construction of future experiments. We are a rapidly expanding and dynamic group of physicists, holding substantial roles across the ATLAS, DUNE, LHCb, LZ, SBND, MicroBooNE, SuperNEMO and DarkSide-20k experiments. We have a lively research atmosphere where novel analysis ideas are fostered, alongside our long-standing expertise and commitments to analysis, software, hardware, outreach and impact activities

We are looking for a postdoctoral research associate to join our team working on the DarkSide-20k and SBND liquid argon neutrino experiments. You will make substantial contributions to the experiments’ construction, commissioning and development, as well as the physics programme, by participating in DarkSide-20k physics sensitivity studies and searches for BSM models in SBND.

**The Opportunity**:
SBND and DarkSide-20k are both multi-ton liquid-argon detectors capable of detecting dark matter, either produced in the neutrino beam (SBND) or via direct detection of halo dark matter (DarkSide-20k), that will achieve world-leading sensitivity in these searches. SBND is located at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory at Fermilab in the USA and is nearing data-taking, while DarkSide-20k will be located in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. Both experiments have a rich science programme that addresses many open questions in modern physics. You will contribute to the commissioning and first physics searches for BSM phenomena in SBND and to the construction and testing of silicon photomultipliers of the DarkSide-20k experiment. You will also have the opportunity to develop the simulation and physics programme for SBND and DarkSide-20k. The PPE liquid argon group has recently expanded and is now comprised of four academics, two postdocs and four PhD students.

**Your skills and attributes for success**:

- Possess, or be about to obtain a PhD in Experimental Particle Physics
- Proven track record of performing high quality research in experimental particle physics
- Good working knowledge of C++ and/or Python programming languages
- Ability to self-motivate and work independently
- Ability to work as part of a team while showing leadership and initiative
- Desirable but not necessary: experience in developing BSM searches in neutrino experiments and/or experience in testing Photon Detectors, particularly at cryogenic temperatures.
