The Edinburgh Particle Physics Experiment (PPE) group is excited to be able to offer a postdoctoral researcher position thanks to its successes in obtaining funding to aid exploitation of existing and construction of future experiments. We are a rapidly expanding group of physicists, holding substantial roles across the ATLAS, DUNE, LHCb, LZ, SBND, MicroBooNE, SuperNEMO, BUTTON and DarkSide-20k experiments. We have a lively research atmosphere where novel analysis ideas are fostered, alongside our long-standing expertise and commitments to analysis, software, hardware, outreach and impact activities
We are looking for a postdoctoral research associate to join our team working on the DarkSide-20k liquid-argon dark matter experiment together with the BUTTON-30 Water Based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) testbed. You will make substantial contributions to the construction, commissioning and development of these experiments, as well as the physics programme, by participating in DarkSide-20k physics sensitivity studies.
We are open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce, and eliminating discrimination. The School strives to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace for all and we are looking to actively diversify our staff. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates and in particular encourage applications from people of colour, women, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people and other minority and under-represented groups. We aim to ensure that our culture and systems support flexible and family-friendly working, as evidenced by our Juno Champion and Athena SWAN Silver awards.
