Job description:
GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerators for science. Currently, the new FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) one of the world's largest research projects, will be built in international cooperation. GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work together in this international environment with a team of employees committed to ensure each day to conduct world-class science.
The FRS/SFRS group is one of the major partners for nuclear physics experiments and application of radioactive beams at GSI. The group operates and maintains the fragment separator FRS, a high-resolution separator and spectrometer for heavy-ion and exotic nuclear beam experiments, and conducts unique research on reactions and structures of exotic nuclei with the FRS.
The group also supports the development and preparation of the next-generation super-conducting fragment separator Super-FRS of the international accelerator facility FAIR. The FRS/SFRS group is an integral part of large international scientific collaborations and performs experiments at the cutting edge of modern nuclear science.
The FRS/SFRS group offers a position for a
PhD student (all genders)
(part time 65%)
Posting ID: 24.34-1230
The position:
- The candidate will conduct research and development in collaborative activities of the FRS/SFRS group and the Super-FRS Experiment Collaboration
- This project includes technical developments for future experiments and operations of the fragment separator FRS. The candidate is expected to lead the project to make the FRS fully remotely controllable, which is a key for its future operation. The candidate is expected to work on the upgrade of the FRS S1 focal plane devices within the activities of the FRS/SFRS group
- The candidate will make a significant contribution to nuclear reaction cross-section measurements, in which the fragment separator FRS is used as the main experimental device. Participation in the preparation and operation of the experiment as well as leading the data evaluation are within the scope of this PhD project
- English is the main working language.
Requirements:
- Master degree in the field of experimental nuclear physics, particle, high energy physics or related fields
- Experience and/or good knowledge in particle detectors, electronics, data analysis, and simulations for nuclear or particle physics experiments
- Ability to work systematically and independently, as well as in a team
- Excellent oral and written communication skills
- Experience with Linux and C++ or other programming language would be welcome.
Working location:
Most of the work will be located at GSI Helmholtz Center of Heavy Ion Research GmbH. The candidate will be affiliated with Justus-Liebig-University in Gießen as a PhD student.
We offer a fixed-term 3-year PhD student position. The salary is based on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service (TVöD-Bund) effective at GSI.
GSI supports the vocational development of women. Therefore, women are especially encouraged to apply for the position. Severely handicapped persons will be preferentially considered when equally qualified.
