Research Fellow on the DUNE neutrino experiment - Postdoc at Sussex U.

Applications are invited from talented and creative scientists for a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Experimental Particle Physics on the DUNE neutrino experiment.

You will be a strong programmer with a passion for both the technical computing aspects of data acquisition and the physics of DUNE. With a focus on trigger development for DUNE you will work to enable the full physics exploitation of the huge detectors.

The UK government recently announced £65 million in construction funding for the DUNE project through to the mid-2020s. It is anticipated that activities at Sussex will continue to be funded beyond September 2019 throughout the DUNE construction phase.

This is a high priority post for the group and has the potential of seeing the DUNE project right through construction and into data taking. Experience with complex trigger systems from any experiment will be an advantage.

The Sussex group has a long history of neutrino research and a number of leadership roles internationally. Our current research focusses on the DUNE, NOvA and SNO+ experiments.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Prof. Jeff Hartnell (j.j.hartnell@sussex.ac.uk) or Dr. Simon Peeters (s.j.m.peeters@sussex.ac.uk).
