The Laboratory for High Energy Physics (LHEP) and the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics (AEC) at the University of Bern invite applications for a
PhD student position in experimental neutrino physics
The LHEP/AEC group is actively involved in the development of liquid argon TPCs and their application as neutrino detectors. In Bern we made major contributions to the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab, including in particular a UV-laser calibration system. We have also important responsibilities in the physics analysis for MicroBooNE and its detector cosmic tagger upgrades, as well as in the design and construction of the SBND detector of the SBN complex at Fermilab. We are furthermore involved in the development of liquid argon TPCs with test setups to be operated in Bern and at CERN (ARGONCUBE) for application in future neutrino experiments (DUNE).The successful candidate is expected to play a principal role in the above activities.
