5 PhD Positions in Detector R&D for Particle Physics

University of Amsterdam ισ looking for up to 5 PhD candidates for the study of fast-timing detectors. Some candidates will focus on studies of fast-timing sensors while others focus on the detector readout. Research on the sensor will involve detailed characterisation studies of sensor designs (such as MAPS, LGAD and 3D) using in-house lab facilities such as laser setups and testbeam data. Research on the readout of fast-timing detectors include studying the timing performance, calibration and time-correction algorithms that are vital for the detector operation. The research is for future detectors but also connected to the current LHC experiments. You will be embedded in the ALICE, ATLAS, LHCb or the R&D group at the Nikhef institute, depending on the position.
