瑞典乌普莎拉大学实验强子物理方向博士后职位

Uppsala University is an international research university focused on the development of science and education. Our most important assets are all the individuals who with their curiosity and their dedication makes Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting work places. Uppsala University has 40,000 students, 6,500 employees and a turnover of SEK 5,500 million.

Background: Our research is carried out at the BESIII facility in Beijing, China and the foreseen PANDA experiment at FAIR, Germany. The main physics interests of our group are studies of the production and decay of hyperons aiming at an understanding the strong interaction at low energies and searches for processes beyond the Standard Model. With BES III, our focus is hyperon structure by measurement of electromagnetic form factors. In PANDA we are involved in simulations of hyperon production in proton-antiproton annihilations.

Duties: This post doc is expected to participate in the running of the experiments abroad and take responsibility for simulations, analysis and interpretation of data. The appointment is a 100% research position.

Time period: The position has a duration of two (2) years, starting June 1st 2014 or according to agreement.

Qualifications: The candidate must have completed her/his doctoral studies in physics, preferably with an orientation towards experimental hadron physics. To be eligible for a position as postdoctoral researcher the applicant's Ph.D. degree must have been obtained no more than three (3) years prior to the application date; however, periods of e.g. parental leave are deducted from the three-year period.

The ranking of eligible applicants will be based primarily on research expertise. Experience in physics analysis and Monte Carlo simulations are required. Scientific merits and skills should be well documented.

Good oral and written proficiency in English is a requirement as well as the capacity to work both independently and in a team. Uppsala University is striving to achieve a more even gender balance in its research and teaching staff and women are especially invited to apply for this position.

Applications should include a brief description of research interests and relevant experience, CV, copies of certificates, diplomas, doctoral thesis other scientific works, and a list of reference which the applicant wishes to claim.
