Engineer - Neutrino Physics (CEvNS) at the European Spallation Source (Electronic Engineer) (Closed)

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.

• Estimated annual gross salary: Salary is commensurate with qualifications and consistent with our pay scales
• Target start date: 2023/06/01

We provide a highly stimulating research environment, and unique professional career development opportunities.

We offer and promote a diverse and inclusive environment and welcomes applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity.

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.

Interested candidates should submit an updated CV and a brief statement of interest to the following application email below. 

Reference letters are welcome but not indispensable.

The reference of the specific opening to which the candidate is applying should be stated in the subject line, and the application must be received before the application deadline.

Although candidates are welcome to contact the project supervisors to know further details about the proposed research activity, please be aware that the application will be evaluated only if it is submitted directly to the email address listed below as application email.

• Reference: 2023/42
• Application deadline: 2023/04/21
• Application email: jobs.research@dipc.org

Applications received by the deadline will be evaluated by a Committee designed by the DIPC board on the basis of the following criteria:

• CV of the candidate (40%)
• Adequacy of the candidate’s scientific background to the project (40%)
• Reference letters (10%)
• Other: Diversity in gender, race, nationality, etc. (10%)

Evaluation results will be communicated to the candidates soon after. Positions will only be filled if qualified candidates are found.

The DIPC may revoke its decision if the candidate fails to join by the appointed time, in which case the position will be awarded to the candidate with the next highest score, provided it is above 50 (out of 100).

However, the selected candidate may keep the position if, in the opinion of the Selection Committee, the candidate duly justifies the reasons why he or she cannot join before the specified deadline, and as long as the project allows it.
