Job description:
The group ANTARES/KM3NeT at IFIC (Valencia, Spain) offers a 2-year postdoc position to work in the experiment ORCA-KM3NeT (http://km3net.org) to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and other topics related to the goals of this experiment in the global science context. Partipation in the outreach and open data access programs will be complementary tasks.
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 Centres 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 summer of 2017. Excellent scientific track, high motivation and good computing skills are required. Experience in the field of neutrino physics will be an asset.
For more information on the research work and instructions about the procedure, please contact:
