Field of Interest:astro-ph, hep-ph
Experiments:KM3NeT
Deadline: 2016-07-22
Region: Europe
Job description:
The group ANTARES/KM3NeT at IFIC (Valencia, Spain) offers a 4-year Ph.D. fellowship (FPI Program) to work in the experiment ORCA-KM3NeT (http://km3net.org) to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy.
IFIC (Instituto de Fisica Corpuscular, http://webific.ific.uv.es/web/en) is the largest particle physics research center in Spain and has been recently recognized by the Program "Severo Ochoa Centers of Excellence".
The ANTARES-KM3NeT group at IFIC has a long experience in both experiments, located in the Mediterranean Sea. ANTARES has successfully shown the feasibility of the undersea water Cherenkov technique with a rich harvest of scientific results. KM3NeT is being deployed and will mean a tremendous step forward in neutrino astronomy. The main goal of the ORCA-KM3NeT is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy, a most relevant question in particle physics today and for which ORCA-KM3NeT has an important edge to be the first experiment in performing such a measurement.
The successful candidate is expected to join the group by the end of 2016 or beginning 2017 and should have finished his/her master studies before that time. Excellent academic record, high motivation and good computing skills are required.
For more information on the research work and instructions about the procedure, please contact:
