The Marietta Blau Institute (MBI) in Vienna offers a postdoctoral position to work on the ALICE Outer Tracker (ALICE 3 OT) project. The position is offered for an initial period of three years and will be based in Vienna.
About the Institute
The Marietta Blau Institute (MBI) in Vienna performs a rich experimental particle physics research program, participating in accelerator and non accelerator-based experiments. The institute has major involvement in ALICE and CMS at CERN, the Belle II experiment at KEK, and several Dark Matter discovery experiments.
The research group works on R&D of particle detectors for these experiments as well as their applications in medical imaging. For this work it collaborates with MedAustron, an ion cancer therapy and research center.
For an upgrade of the Belle II Vertex Detector and for the future FCCee, the group designs and develops depleted monolithic active pixel detectors and associated readout electronics.
Responsibilities
-
Design of the electronics for the ALICE Outer Tracker readout system
-
Verification and characterization of prototypes in laboratory tests and particle beam experiments
-
Leadership role within the project, representing the interests of MBI in the ALICE Outer Tracker project and interacting with international collaborators
-
Supervision of Bachelor, Master and PhD students
Candidate profile
-
PhD degree in physics with a strong background in electronics (or vice versa)
-
Previous postdoctoral experience in the domain is strongly desirable
-
Solid background in experimental particle physics
-
Experience in solid-state detector R&D, FPGA programming, and electronics
-
Skills in ASIC design flow (Cadence), PCB design, electronic simulations and device simulations are desirable
-
Knowledge of particle–matter interactions is considered an asset
