Research Associate

Applications are welcomed for a Post Doctoral Research Associate in the School of Mathematical and Physical
Sciences. In this role you will be a member of the High Energy Particle Physics group and will form part of the
Water Cherenkov Neutrino group. The group is engaged in a broad programme of work which involves
participation in current and next generation short and long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
including Hyper-Kamiokande (HK), Super-Kamiokande (SK) and T2K, alongside the BUTTON experiment at
Boulby.

As a candidate you will have a PhD and, ideally some postdoctoral experience in Particle Physics, a good
knowledge of programming within a Particle Physics or similar environment. A strong hardware background
will be essential. Experience of calibration systems for neutrino experiments and/or gamma spectroscopy via
high purity Germanium detectors would be an advantage.

We are one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University's Total Reward
Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as
access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional
development.
We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University. We
build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and
contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater
impact through research, teaching and student experience.
