Job Description:

Introduction
Are you a skilled Applied Physicist with extensive post-doctoral research experience in detector R&D and accelerator-based neutrino experiments? Interested in spearheading the development of detector technologies for the DUNE Vertical Drift detector and overseeing the construction of the Charge Readout Planes? Then, this opportunity might be just right for you!

The Neutrino Platform, established by CERN following the 2013 European Strategy for Particle Physics, aims to advance fundamental research in long baseline accelerator-based Neutrino Physics.

Join the CERN EP Department and play a pivotal role in enhancing current neutrino experiments, engaging in challenges such as calibration activities, and preparing data for analysis. Proficiency in analyzing emulsion data would be advantageous.

Functions:

Test, commission, and optimize detector and readout systems of large volume Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers.
Lead the design and construction of the Charge Readout Plane (CRP) modules of the DUNE Vertical Drift Detector.
Represent the Organization in the DUNE experiment's scientific and technical consortia.
Design and innovate detector technologies for accelerator-based neutrino experiments.
Support relevant R&D projects for the CERN Neutrino Platform project and the EP Neutrino group.
Analyze, interpret, and document the performance of large-scale neutrino detectors.
Engage in communication, academic training, and outreach activities.
Supervise CERN graduates and students.

Qualifications:
PhD or equivalent relevant experience in particle physics or a related field.

Experience:

Experience in developing, constructing, and operating large noble liquid particle detectors.
Leadership experience in international large particle physics experiments.

Technical competencies:

Simulation, design, and development of noble liquid-based time projection chambers for accelerator-based neutrino experiments.
Assembly and integration of large volume detectors and instrumentation.
Analysis and optimization of detector performance.

Behavioural competencies:

Achieving results: creating comprehensive work/project plans, setting clear objectives, milestones, and deliverables, and prioritizing tasks effectively.
Demonstrating accountability: working conscientiously, delivering on commitments, and taking ownership of actions.
Creating vision and strategic partnerships: fostering collaboration with external partners, supporting cross-functional work, and maintaining respectful communication.
Communicating effectively: providing timely information, addressing conflicts constructively, and ensuring proper documentation of decisions.
Solving problems: identifying, defining, and resolving issues, embracing innovative solutions, and driving continuous improvement.

Language skills:

Proficiency in spoken and written English for technical documentation and presentations.
French language proficiency in professional contexts or readiness to acquire it swiftly.

Eligibility and closing date:

Employment Conditions:

Work in Radiation Areas.
Interventions in underground installations.
Possession of a valid driving license.
Flexibility to work during nights, Sundays, and official holidays as per organizational requirements.
