Fachbereich: Detektorentwicklung

Projekt: CMS Tracker

The research group “detector development” at the Institute of High Energy Physics (HEPHY) is working on semiconductor sensors for the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider of CERN. Currently we are developing silicon micro strip and pad detectors, for the CMS Phase-II upgrade scheduled in 2025.

We offer:

• Research training in the area of semiconductor sensor technology
• Development of new characterization techniques for Si detectors
  • Including hardware development and software development (in python)
• Research using versatile equipment like a high-precision instruments, climatic chamber, 
• The possibility to travel to CERN, DESY or MedAustron for beam tests, presentations etc.
• A project that has the possibility of having a huge impact on the upcoming Phase-II upgrade
• A group of highly motivated people

We want you if:

• You are a team player, but you can do work on your own too
• You are motivated to learn and are  interested in particle sensors
• You have a bachelor’s degree in physics

It would be advantous if:

• You have some lab experience
• You have experience with high voltages
• You have basic semiconductor knowledge
• You have basic programming skills in Python and/or LabView

If you think, that you fit in our group and will have fun working with us, contact me at thomas.bergauer(at)oeaw.ac.at
