Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.
Work assignment
One research area within the Division of Nuclear Physics, Department of Physics, concerns research with exotic radioactive ion beams far from stability, and development of multi-detector systems for this and related research fields. A new measurement campaign is scheduled from 2018 at the R3B-experiment at the international accelerator facility GSI (FAIR Phase 0) at Darmstadt, Germany. The applicant is expected to take an active role in preparing and performing these experiments, as well as in the data analysis and interpretation of the results. The work is done in an international collaboration and includes theoretical interpretation of the experiments. The applicant will take specific responsibilities for the installation and use of the Lund group’s contribution to the calorimeter, CALIFA, of the R3B experiment. The detector is a multi-detector system based on ca 1000 scintillation detectors. The candidate needs to have experience from this kind of detectors, including numerical simulations. The purpose is that the candidate, based on this experience, will be able to contribute to other detector systems e.g. within the ESSnuSB project where the group is also active in a conceptual design study.
The work is carried out in close collaboration with PhD students and other researchers in Lund and in Europe. The position thus requires regular travel abroad.
Further academic qualifications can be provided by analysing scientific data from experiments at the ISOLDE facility at CERN, which also includes the opportunity to propose new experiments based on the interest of the candidate. Opportunities also exist to engage in various teaching activities to add to personal pedagogic merits.
Qualifications
This is a qualifying position focusing on research. The applicant must hold a doctoral degree in physics when starting the position, and dating back no more than 4 years prior to the application deadline. Doctoral and/or postdoctoral studies in experimental nuclear physics are required. Very good oral and written command of English is required. Work experience from international collaborations, experience with development of radiation detectors, both in practice and from advanced simulations, and experience with large detector systems for nuclear physics are required. Teaching experience at university level and knowledge in Swedish and German are considered additional merits.
Terms (LU standardtext)
The employment is limited to a maximum of 2 years and is full-time. The employment is limited by agreement, "Avtal om tidsbegränsad anställning som postdoktor”, mellan arbetsmarknadens parter daterat 2008-09-04 (Arbetsgivarverket, OFR:s, Saco-S och SEKO).
The University applies individual payroll. Please provide salary claims in your application.
Procedure
The application must comprise a personal cover letter briefly describing the applicant, interests within the specific research area, including comments concerning the job-related questions. The application should also contain a concise CV, a copy of or link to the doctoral thesis, a publication list, a short summary of pedagogical achievements, and at least two references with contact information.
The applicant is also obliged to answer these job-specific questions as first step in the application process
