Job description:
The RES-NOVA experiment is looking for a motivated post-doctoral researcher to advance the development of low-background cryogenic detectors and perform data analysis for neutrino and Dark Matter searches. The project aims to design a new class of detectors capable of detecting Supernova neutrinos and exploring other astrophysical phenomena, with potential applications in Dark Matter research.
These cutting-edge detectors, crafted from archaeological Pb with exceptionally low radioactivity, are equipped with superconducting thermal sensors and SQUID amplifiers for signal readout. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in both experimental and analytical aspects, including detector development, calibration, and interpretation of results.

Opportunities:
Research Environment: Join a collaborative and dynamic team at the forefront of experimental astrophysics and particle physics.
New Cryo-Lab: Contribute to establishing a state-of-the-art cryogenic laboratory at UNIMIB, shaping the experimental infrastructure from its inception.
Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory: Spend extended periods at the world-renowned Gran Sasso Laboratory (L'Aquila, Italy), taking a leading role in experimental activities within a low-background environment.

Salary: Annual net salary of approximately €24,000.00.
Duration: 36 months.
Funding: Project funds are secured until 2028
Deadline: January 20th, 2025
