The Physics Division of the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) opens a call for 4 positions of researcher / technical manager for activities in the field of space-based research on cosmic radiations and development of related technologies.

 

The four positions refer to:

 

The ideal candidate should have a solid background in electronics and data acquisition systems applied to nuclear, particle or astroparticle physics experiments, with a PhD in the field. The candidate is expected to join the experimental group of high energy astroparticle physics for the study of the cosmic radiation and give an important contribution to the design and optimization of the electronics subsystems of scientific payloads and/or satellite platforms, including the data acquisition system and the development of test beds used for single subsystems characterization. Simulations and tests for space qualifications will also be part of the work.

Duration: 3 years (RTDa)

 

The ideal candidate should have a solid background in nuclear, particle or astroparticle physics with a PhD in the field. Previous experience in radiation detection would be an asset. The candidate is expected to join the experimental group of high energy astroparticle physics for the study of the cosmic radiation and give an important contribution to quantify the radiation dose absorbed by satellite/payload subsystems in orbit, also using specific simulation codes, and evaluate the corresponding required radiation hardness levels. Simulations and tests for radiation hardness qualifications of electronics components will also be part of the work.

Duration: 3 years (RTDa)

 

The ideal candidate should have a solid background in particle and astroparticle physics with a PhD in the field. Previous experience in the experimental study of cosmic radiation with space-based missions and in the related activities (R&D, data analysis, and payload response simulations) would be an asset. The candidate is expected to join the experimental group of high energy astroparticle physics for the study of the cosmic radiation, and give an important contribution in the design, test and operation of innovative payloads for space-based missions.

Duration: 3 years (RTDa)

 

The ideal candidate should have a solid background in aerospace or electronics engineering. He/she will contribute to the design and optimization of the mechanical or electronic model of scientific payloads and/or satellite platforms, including the development of test beds used for single subsystems characterization. Simulations and tests for space qualifications will also be part of the work. Knowledge of the commonly used software tools for mechanical or electronic design is also required.

Duration: 2 years (Tecnologo)

 

 

Application deadline: January 31, 2023
