The Opportunity

The University of Edinburgh's School of Physics and Astronomy is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in particle physics detector instrumentation.

We are looking for a talented individual to work on the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) construction and the LHCb Mighty Tracker and RICH Upgrade II. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop automated pixel module and service qualification control procedures and lead the relevant effort during the ITk construction.

The role will also involve working on novel detector R&D and prototyping for the LHCb upgrade II and related DRD activities, including the HV-CMOS silicon pixel detector and fast photon detector exploring Large Area Picosecond Photon Detector (LAPPD) and High-Rate Picosecond Photo-Detector (HRPPD).

Your Skills and Attributes
  • Possess 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

The University of Edinburgh is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating discrimination. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates and particularly encourage applications from people of colour, women, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, and other minority and under-represented groups.

We aim to ensure that our culture and systems support flexible and family-friendly working, as evidenced by our Juno Champion and Athena SWAN Silver awards.
