The INFN Firenze CMS Group is looking for researchers interested in a 2-year Research Fellowship (Assegno di Ricerca) to work on “Research and development activities for the new Tracker detector of the CMS experiment".

Our research group, currently ~20 members, is heavily involved in the 3D pixel sensor R&D, pixel detector modules development and on the powering system of the Upgraded Tracker for HL-LHC.

Due to the unprecedented challenges, the upgraded tracker detector implements cutting-edge technologies like 3D pixel silicon sensors, serial powering and rad-hard, low-noise, high-speed readout electronics. The successful candidate is expected to integrate within the tasks where the CMS Firenze group plays a leading role spacing from lab and test beam activities, data analysis and organization of the upcoming part procurement and production.

The fellowship is based in Firenze but will require travelling to CERN (Geneva, CH) and, possibly, extended residency periods at CERN.

The net salary is approximately 20000€/year. An additional economic incentive (~5000€/year) may be granted in case of mobility from outside Firenze region. Please refer to the opening call for further details (24909.pdf, bilingual Italian/English).

The fellowship is intended for physicists holding a PhD or about to obtain a PhD. The PhD must be obtained within 12 months of signing the contract. Candidates should be comfortable with lab activities, system test implementation, software skills for data analysis and acquisition automation. 

Teamwork capabilities are needed to fruitfully engage with colleagues and collaborators. The candidates are expected to play a leading role in managing a complex project and actively steer activities, procurement and tests.

Please refer to the opening call for further details (24909.pdf, bilingual Italian/English).

Interested candidates should apply according to the procedure detailed in the position opening (24909.pdf). The deadline (that will be strictly enforced) is 10/12/2022.
