Job description
Nikhef, the national institute for subatomic physics in The Netherlands, is looking for a
Postdoctoral Researcher in experimental particle physics (ALICE)
The Nikhef organisation
Nikhef is the national institute for subatomic physics in The Netherlands. At Nikhef, approximately 175 physicists and 75 technical staff members work together in an open and international scientific environment. Together, they perform theoretical and experimental research in the fields of particle and astroparticle physics. The Nikhef institute is a collaboration between six major Dutch universities and the Dutch Foundation for Scientific Research (NWO).
Nikhef participates in large research collaborations, including the ATLAS, LHCb and ALICE experiments at CERN, the KM3NeT neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean, the VIRGO interferometer in Pisa, the Xenon1T dark matter experiment in Gran Sasso, the Pierre Auger cosmic ray observatory in Argentina and the eEDM research programme in Groningen. Nikhef also hosts a group in theoretical physics, and groups for Physics Data Processing and detector R&D, all with good connections to the experimental programs.
The position
We are looking for a candidate to work on parton energy loss in the Quark Gluon Plasma created at the LHC, using jets and heavy flavor signatures, using the data collected by ALICE. In addition, the candidate is expected to participate in the commisioning of the upgraded ALICE detector, or to contribute to the development of tools and code for the new analysis software framework in ALICE.
