Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:ATLAS, T2K, Hyper-K, SNO+, IceCUBE
Deadline: 2017-01-31
Region: Europe
Job description:
Queen Mary, University of London have open PhD opportunities (college and STFC funded) within the Particle Physics Research Centre. The centre is dedicated to investigating the fundamental forces that govern the nature of the Universe and is making significant contributions to some of the most important international experiments that are dedicated to addressing the crucial open questions in physics. It consists of internationally recognised physicists working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN, the T2K experiment in Japan and the SNO+ experiment in Canada. The group is also actively involved in future experiments that are aiming to explore with unprecedented precision new areas of particle physics: the upgraded ATLAS experiment at CERN, the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment in Japan and the IceCube-Gen2 experiment in the South Pole.

We are keen to recruit talented Students to become members of the experiment collaborations and make original contributions to the world-leading research programme, with opportunities to work at the experimental site (CERN, JPARC, SNOLAB) for extended periods. A number of potential projects offer detector development and hardware opportunities alongside data analysis. Studentships stipends are £16296 per year (including London weighting) and full training is provided including the comprehensive University of London Particle Physics lecture programme in the first year and GRADnet training courses.
