The successful candidate will play a leading role in the analysis of ALICE data from Run 3, contributing to the group’s strong research program focused on the study of hadrons with open or hidden heavy quarks. While this is our primary focus, we remain open to considering other innovative analysis topics proposed by the candidate. In addition to current data analysis, the researcher will look toward the future of the field by conducting simulations and physics performance studies for ALICE 3. The position also offers the opportunity to gain valuable leadership experience through the supervision of PhD, Master, and Bachelor students, supporting the academic growth of the group.

Your Qualification:

• PhD in Physics or equivalent qualification
• Strong experience in data analysis in experimental heavy-ion physics, with solid knowledge of C++, ROOT, and Python
• Familiarity with the ALICE O2 software framework is an advantage
• Experience with machine learning techniques; demonstrated curiosity and openness toward exploring novel algorithms and approaches are highly valued
• Fluency in English (spoken and written)
• Enthusiasm in working collaboratively within diverse and inclusive teams

We offer you a position in a multi-disciplinary, dynamic, competent research group, which highly values fair and collaborative work, closely connected to the neighboring universities. The position is initially limited to a duration of 2 years, with the possibility of renewal.
