The HIBEAM/NNBAR collaboration proposes a two-phase experimental program at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund to carry out high-precision studies of neutron conversion across various baryon-number-violating channels. The program addresses fundamental questions in modern physics, such as the origin of the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry and the nature of “missing matter” in the Universe, commonly referred to as “dark matter.”
The team from Lund University is responsible for the HIBEAM beamline and a Time Projection Chamber (TPC). For the subsequent NNBAR experiment, the team is also tasked with overseeing the entire NNBAR beamline and its TPC.
Your primary responsibility will be to coordinate the research and development as well as the subsequent construction of the TPC for the HIBEAM project. Additionally, you will assist the HIBEAM/NNBAR team at Lund University with all technical development aspects, including the design and construction of all magnetic-field aspects related to the infrastructure of HIBEAM. This role emphasizes hardware development and experimental operations, so prior experience in these areas is essential.
In the first few years of the position, you will participate in testing the TPC prototype developed in Lund and use this experience to refine the design and construction of the HIBEAM TPC as well as contribute to the development of the entire HIBEAM beamline. Subsequently, your efforts will shift toward supporting the NNBAR project.
The employment is permanent with a full-time scope (100%) and the start date is to be agreed upon. The position might start with a probitionary period of 6 months.
The application should include a CV and a cover letter explaining why you are interested in the position and how the position matches your qualifications. The application should also include a degree certificate or equivalent, as well as any other documents you wish to refer to (copies of grades, reference details, recommendation letters, etc.).
