T2K is the leading neutrino oscillation experiment, which will measure the neutrino oscillation parameters with unprecedented precision. One of its main aims is to measure the appearance of electron neutrinos in a pure beam of muon neutrinos. The Oxford Group is heavily involved in the near detector DAQ and online monitoring systems and providing operational support at the near detector in Tokai. We are currently working on measuring neutrino cross sections using the near detector and the oscillation analysis. The successful candidate will hold a PhD in particle physics or related field. He/she is expected to strengthen the Oxford activities and to take a leading role in the T2K data analysis and operational support.
