2 Postdocs for the Development of CMOS Pixel Detectors for Particle Physics

DESY develops novel silicon pixel detectors for particle physics. The project Tangerine (Towards Next Generation Silicon Detectors) is dedicated to the development of monolithic active CMOS pixel detectors (MAPS) in a novel 65nm imaging process. This potentially opens up new horizons for the next generation of silicon pixel detector. For the development of groundbreaking detector prototypes in international cooperation with world-leading institutes, DESY is looking for two post-doctoral researchers with a focus on device simulation and test beam integration of pixel detectors. The successful candidates will be part of a dynamic team pushing silicon detectors to the next level and will have the unique opportunity to shape the development of a new detector prototype from the very beginning of the project.
