Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:CERN-LHC-ATLAS
Deadline: 2015-10-31
Region: Europe
Job description:
The particle physics group at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal is searching for a
Research Associate (mechanical engineer, physicist)
for research and development on detectors
for particle physics.
The candidate should play a leading role in the development of new carbon based structures for the high precision pixel detector of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The initial duration of the position is until June 30, 2018 with possible further extension.
The Wuppertal group of some 40 physicists and engineers has played a leading role in designing and building the pixel detector and IBL of ATLAS. One of our major contributions was to develop and build its CF based support structures. In view of the upgrade of the ATLAS pixel detector in 2023, we have embarked on a R&D program for novel carbon materials and ultralight mechanical structures. The candidate is supposed to strengthen our role in this area.
The candidate should preferentially have a PhD, but at least a MA, in mechanical engineering or physics and a strong interest in the research on novel technologies
for mechanical support structures. He/she should have an excellent knowledge of techniques to measure electrical, mechanical and thermical properties of materials. Experience with CAD programs and experience in CF materials are assets. Knowledge of the complex detectors of particle physics is an advantage.
Salary and benefits are commensurate with German public services (E 13). Depending on interest and scientific potential, the possibility for making a Ph.D. might be given. In line with our policy of equal opportunities, we particularly encourage women to apply.
Applications should be directed electronically to
