Job description:

We’re seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to contribute their expertise to our neutrino physics research team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). If you have a background in particle or astroparticle physics and a passion for hardware - especially detector technologies -, we invite you to be a key member in our development team for the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN). The collaboration is currently preparing a hardware upgrade of the detector system to expand both energy range and rate capacity, and to widen the physics reach (e.g. to the search for sterile keV neutrinos).

Your role:

  • Coordinate the integration of a novel detector system based on multi-pixel silicon drift diode technology into the KATRIN beamline, in close cooperation with groups from TU Munich and Politecnico di Milano.
  • Take a leading role in the characterization of the detector system in a local test stand prior to its installation in the beamline. 
  • Mentor and guide bachelor and master students working on the detector upgrade.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
