Technician in Particle Physics - Grade 5/6

University of Liverpool - Faculty of Science and Engineering - School of Physical Sciences - Department of Physics

Location: Liverpool
Salary: £23,396 to £35,333 per annum
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 29th March 2023
Closes: 25th April 2023
Job Ref: 057332

You will join the particle physics group working closely with academics, physicists, mechanical designers and electronic engineers. You will be based in the Advanced Materials Lab and the Liverpool Liquid Argon Detector Facility within the Department of Physics.

You will join a team of physicists and engineers working together on the cryogenic characterisation of the Silicon detectors produced for the DarkSide-20k international dark matter experiment. You will assist with the operation of the custom 900 L cryostat in the Liverpool Liquid Argon Detector Facility. Skills in cryogenics would be beneficial, however training will be provided. You will also aid in the development of innovative micropattern gaseous detectors within our Advanced Materials Lab. For this task you will be required to use precision abrasive machining techniques as well as some basic tool room machines such as conventional lathes and milling machines. A hands-on approach is expected in areas such as prototyping, assembly and testing of structures, both on-site and possibly during installation and commissioning at external experimental facilities. You will be expected to attend technical meetings at Liverpool and occasionally off-site as the project proceeds. We are looking for someone who has a willingness to extend their range of skills. You must be able to work alone and within a team, required to work with technical or non-technical personnel and be open to both offer and receive advice and direction.

You should be educated to higher BTEC or degree level in Mechanical Engineering (or have equivalent professional experience). You will be required to work from formal engineering drawings and specifications. Good sensory and physical co-ordination is essential given the small scale and delicate nature of the detectors. You will have good communication skills and the ability to instruct others (e.g. students) in the production procedures.

This post coincides with 2 years of the production phase of the DarkSide-20k outer detector. Subject to funding availability, there could be future possibilities of employment within the Department on other projects requiring similar skills and experience. The post is available for two years.
