Post-Doc position in experimental neutrino physics

National Centre For Nuclear Research (NCBJ), Poland, is inviting holders of the PhD degree in physics to apply for a position of a Post-Doc in the project “Precise measurements of neutrino oscillations in the improved T2K experiment” (http://t2k-experiment.org/). The project is funded within the SONATA-BIS UMO-2018/30/E/ST2/00441  program granted by the National Science Center, Poland, (NCN) and run by the Warsaw Neutrino Group (http://neutrino.ncbj.gov.pl/).

He/she will not be permitted to receive any other remuneration from National Science Centre funds during the entire period of the contract.

The successful candidate is expected to work on the analysis of experimental data and to participate in development of the reconstruction software and analysis tools for the Far Detector of T2K experiment. The involvement in the selection of new event samples (including new information which can be obtained from the detector) which can be used in the neutrino oscillation analysis is also expected, in cooperation with a PhD student. The specifics of the job will depend on the individual preferences of the candidate.

Funding necessary to cover travel costs to cooperating institutions in Europe/Japan and costs of participation in relevant international scientific conferences/workshops has been allocated in the project budget.

Requirements:

• very good command of written/spoken English (sufficient to write scientific publications/technical documentation and to fluently communicate in international teams)
• very good knowledge of at least one programming language (preferably C++) and the UNIX/LINUX environment. Solid experience with the following software packages: ROOT and Geant 4.
• experience in working in international research team (preferably in neutrino experiments).
• documented scientific output.
• thinking independence combined with good communication/team-work skills.

Documents:

• CV 
• list of publications, record of received training courses, internships, scholarships, participation in scientific conferences, received awards etc.
• motivation letter with a description of applicant’s scientific interests
