Position as PhD Research Fellow in Instrumentation for high energy physics is available at the Department of Physics.

No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo. Starting date no later than October 1, 2023.

The fellowship period is 3 years. A fourth year may be considered with a workload of 25 % that normally consists of teaching. This is dependent upon the qualification of the applicant and the current needs of the department.

The position is associated with the Norwegian ALICE project at CERN, funded by the Norwegian Research Council as part of the Norwegian Centre for CERN research (NorCC). The electronics and high energy physics sections at the Department of Physics, University of Oslo, participate in the ALICE experiment, which in 2022 entered the third round of data taking at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC Run-3).  In addition to physics analysis and related software development, the local ALICE group is involved in instrumentation activities associated with the ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS) and Forward Calorimeter (FoCal), in collaboration with the heavy-ion groups at the University of Bergen and at University of South-Eastern Norway.

The candidate will be based in Oslo but will be expected to spend some time participating in data taking and other ALICE activities at CERN or other collaborating institutions. The position will also include mandatory service work for the ALICE collaboration.

Deadline for applications: 28 February 2023.
