Midlothian, United Kingdom The University of Edinburgh Full time

The Opportunity:

The University of Edinburgh's Advanced Detector Development Centre is seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Associate to contribute to its detector R&D and construction efforts. The successful candidate will join a well-integrated team in the ECFA detector R&D collaborations and work on various projects, including fast photon detectors, silicon detectors using HV-CMOS, and small-pitch LGAD detectors.

This post is supported by two research grants on HL-LHC upgrade, including the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) construction and LHCb Mighty Tracker and RICH Upgrade II. The successful candidate will spend about one third of their research time on the ATLAS ITk Pixel EndCap construction and lead the relevant effort during the ITk construction.


The remaining two thirds of the research time will be dedicated to novel detector R&D and prototyping for the LHCb upgrade II and related DRD activities, in two complementary areas including the HV-CMOS silicon pixel detector (Mighty Tracker) and fast photon detector exploring Large Area Picosecond Photon Detector (LAPPD) and High-Rate Picosecond Photo-Detector (HRPPD).

Your skills and attributes for success:

  • Possess, or be about to obtain a PhD or equivalent qualification in Experimental Particle Physics, electronic engineering or a related field
  • Experience and keen interest in performing high quality research in particle physics detector instrumentation in either charged particle detection or photon detection
  • 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
