The ATLAS group at the Humboldt University of Berlin (Prof. Heiko Lacker/Prof. Thomas Lohse) has an opening for a

Postdoctoral Position in Detector instrumentation.

Our group has long-standing experience in top-quark physics and searches for New Physics (Vector-like quarks, charged Higgs bosons, long-lived Majorana neutrinos) and is also engaged in the operation of the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker (SCT) and in the silicon strip detector (ATLAS ITk) high-luminosity LHC upgrade project.

The focus of the postdoc activities will be on development and construction of silicon strip detector modules for ATLAS ITk endcap detector in close collaboration with DESY (Zeuthen). The candidate is expected to play a leading role in this area, which also involves supervision of graduate and PhD students.

The position is limited to a duration of three years with the possibility of an extension. Payment is according to the German TV-L system. Humboldt University of Berlin is an equal opportunity employer. Suitable qualified women as well as persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Applicants should hold a doctoral degree in physics, a good background in particle physics, and should have demonstrated excellent skills in operation and construction of semiconductor detectors. They are expected to participate to some extent in teaching at the faculty.

The position is available from 1 July 2018.

Applications should be sent to lacker@physik.hu-berlin.de until 08 August 2018, and should include a curriculum vitae, a short description of the research experience and interests, copies of certificates of degrees. Reference letters should be sent independently by at least two referees.
