Vacancy No. 353/2017-E
Scientist (m/f)
Job description
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a 3000 km2 cosmic ray detector in the province Mendoza, Argentina. Within the project AugerPrime, the Auger Collaboration of about 450 physicists from 17 countries is currently upgrading the Observatory by installing plastic scintillator detectors. We are looking for a physicist who will organize the production of detector modules for AugerPrime at KIT. The successful candidate will coordinate the production of scintillator modules and be responsible for the final integration of the different detector components. This work will include measurements and analyses for detector quality control using a muon test stand already built at KIT. Other tasks are the organization of the transport of the modules to Argentina and the deployment in the field as well as the coordination of the KIT contributions with those of other institutes of the Auger Collaboration.
Personal qualification
Applicants should be holding a university degree (Master or Diploma) in physics and have obtained a PhD. Practical experimental, communication and management skills as well as good knowledge of German and English language are required. Experience in measuring cosmic rays and basic knowledge of Spanish language would be of advantage.
Salary
Salary and benefits are commensurate with those of public service organizations in Germany. Classification (E13) is based upon qualifications and assigned duties.
Organizational unit
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute for Nuclear Physics (IKP)
Starting date
ASAP, to be determined
Contract duration
Until December 31, 2019
Contact person
For further information, please contact Dr. Ralph Engel, phone +49 721 608-23546, ralph.engel@kit.edu
