De: neutron-bounces@neutronsources.org de la part de Markus Köhli Envoyé: vendredi 20 décembre 2019 12:17 À: neutron@neutronsources.org Objet: [Neutron] Job Advertisement U Bonn, Post-Doc Neutron Detector Development Postdoctoral position in detector development and instrumentation Physikalisches Institut at the University of Bonn (Germany) invites applications for a position as postdoctoral research assistant to be filled from March 2020 or shortly thereafter. The successful candidate will join the gaseous detector development group of Prof. Desch, where a project focused on thermal neutron detectors and readout electronics has been established. The group is specialized in R&D on novel gaseous detectors and a member of the international RD51, LCTPC and CAST and IAXO collaborations. Within the project, two data acquisition platforms based on the Scalable Readout System (SRS) developed within the RD51 collaboration will be further extended and novel neutron detector concepts will be explored. One is based on boron-coated Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) and on its SRS-based readout using the VMM ASIC. The other two detector concepts employ a Timepix3 SRS-based readout combined with a neutron TPC as well as a Microchannel Plate (MCP). The postdoctoral research is expected to take up a leading role in the development of the detectors with a proficient knowledge of the readout concepts. The design, simulation and construction of the detectors as well as tests at neutron facilities and the subsequent analysis will be among the main tasks. Additionally, the successful candidate is expected to supervise Bachelor, Master and PhD students, participate in university teaching and drafting applications for third party funding. The researcher can benefit from the PostDoc Plus program of the University, will have the opportunity to present results at major international conferences and publish articles in recognised international journals. With the new lab building "Forschungs- und Technologiezentrum Detektorphysik", the institute will provide excellent laboratory space and offices with the most recent equipment. Different R&D groups with expertise on a wide range of technologies will work closely together. In addition, the accelerator ELSA provides the opportunity for in-house detector testing. Applicants are expected to have completed a doctoral degree at the time of appointment and research experience in experimental physics, nuclear physics or neutron sciences. Proficient knowledge in detector physics is assumed. Experience in gaseous detectors, neutron science and/or MCPs as well as readout electronics is desirable. The contract will be 100% E 13 according to the German TV-L salary scale fixed until the end of the granted funding from BMBF (30.06.2022). Applicants should send a single pdf file including: - Motivation letter with statement on the preferred start date - Scientific CV to Dr. Jochen Kaminski (kaminski@physik.uni-bonn.de). In addition, two letters of recommendation should be sent to the same address directly by the referee. Application deadline: January 30, 2020. More information can be obtained from Dr. Jochen Kaminski (kaminski@physik.uni-bonn.de) or Dr. Michael Lupberger (lupberger@physik.uni-bonn.de).
