Engineer position in "Neutrino Physics (CEvNS) at the European Spallation Source (Electronic Engineer)"

Job Summary

The Neutrino Physics Group at DIPC is involved in the development and operation of several particle physics experiments worldwide, including NEXT (double-beta decay Xe detector installed in Canfranc, Spain), Hyper-Kamiokande (large scale neutrino detector to be built in Kamiokande, Japan) and the development of next-generation neutrino detectors to be installed at the upcoming European Spallation Source (ESS, Lund, Sweden). The construction of these instruments involves solving complex scientific, technological, and industrial challenges. The DIPC is currently consolidating a multidisciplinary team that will address these challenges and will coordinate the collaboration with relevant academic and industrial players.

Job Description

Within this context, we are currently looking for an Electronics Engineer. The successful candidate will contribute to the design of essential electronics to be integrated into the detector systems for acquisition, processing, and storage of data, as well as for control and monitoring of the detectors.

The job will also relate to similar tasks regarding practical implementation of these technologies in applied areas (development of PET scanners for medical diagnosis, for instance). Experience and/or interest in the design and development of photon sensors and low-noise electronics will be a valuable asset for the applicants.

Interested candidates should submit an updated CV and a brief statement of interest to the
application email listed above. Reference letters are welcome but not indispensable. The
reference of the specific opening to which the candidate is applying should also be stated in
the subject line.
