Detector Innovation Fellowship
To pursue an independent, innovative detector research project. The successful candidate will have full access to the detector laboratory infrastructure and a hardware budget of 50’000 EUR.
We require a Ph.D. in experimental (astro-)particle, hadron or nuclear physics and significant experience with detector research and development. Salary and benefits are in accordance with German standards (TV-L E13, approx. 57,200 – 63,200 EUR p.a.).Candidates are invited to propose an independent research project furthering detector technologies fitting to the portfolio and making use of the infrastructure of the detector laboratory. The project should have connections to the experiments pursued by the groups in PRISMA+ but also have a scope beyond a single experiment. Applications will be judged by the qualifications and potential of the candidate as well as the quality and potential impact of the research project.
