Postdoctoral Research Associate - Neutrino Physics:


100%, Geneva, fixed-term:


Project background:

Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) is a next-generation neutrino observatory and physics experiment under construction in Japan. It's an advanced version of the Super-Kamiokande (Super-K), which has been operational since the 1990s. Hyper-Kamiokande is significantly larger than its predecessor. It consists of a massive tank filled with ultra-pure water. Hyper-Kamiokande aims to study neutrinos from various sources, including the sun, the Earth's atmosphere, and supernovae. It will also investigate neutrinos produced by particle accelerators.

In addition to neutrino research, Hyper-Kamiokande may contribute to the search for proton decay, an important prediction of many grand unified theories in physics.


FASER (ForwArd Search ExpeRiment), a CERN-based experiment, is designed to search for new, light, and weakly-interacting particles beyond the standard model, as well as to explore the production and interaction of TeV neutrinos produced at the LHC.

Situated downstream of the ATLAS experiment, FASER consists of an emulsion-tungsten neutrino detector known as FASERnu, followed by a spectrometer equipped with tracker and calorimeter stations, immersed in a magnetic field.

FASER is set to continue data acquisition throughout the LHC Run-4.


Job description:


Your profile:


We offer:


  • Work at CERN, in a highly stimulating international environment, in the top center in the world for research in particle physics.
  • Take a leading role in developing analysis methods for studying neutrino interactions at TeV energies, as well as in searching for particles beyond the Standard Model.
  • Be involved in the operational aspects of the FASERnu emulsion detector and contribute to hardware development for potential beam tests.
  • Assist in the assembly and testing of the underwater vessels for the Hyper-K experiment.
  • Engage in weekly teaching activities within the bachelor's and master's programs at ETH Zurich.
