Full Job Description

The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration of 3 years, with the possibility of extension subject to funding.

The holder of this post will work on the Hyper Kamiokande experiment which is currently under construction in Japan. Hyper-Kamiokande will have world-leading sensitivity across a broad range of physics topics from CP-violation in the neutrino sector, baryon number non-conservation and supernova burst neutrino detection for more than a decade to come.
The post holder will be part of the outer detector installation team and will also develop software within the DAQ for Hyper-Kamiokande. They will be a key team member during the integration and commissioning of the experiment. They will also take a lead role in development of analysis efforts within the Oxford group for example in neutrino oscillations or supernova burst neutrinos. The post holder may also participate in SK operations/analysis.
Applicants should hold, or be close to completion of, a PhD/DPhil in physics or a related field and ideally a strong background in particle physics.
Previous experience in the field of neutrino physics and/or detector installation or data acquisition in high-energy physics experiments will be an advantage
Candidates are expected to demonstrate strong research skills, the ability work both independently and within a team and to communicate effectively. Willingness to travel to Japan is a must.
The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach.
