Job ID: SMI002PD125
The Stefan Meyer Institute for Subatomic Physics (SMI), of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), Austria’s leading non-university research and science institution, is offering a new
POSTDOC POSITION (F/M/X)
in atomic beam experiments for tests of the Standard Model
(full-time, 40h per week)
for a 1-2-year period.
A Postdoc position is available on atomic beam experiments with (anti-)hydrogen and deuterium beams within the ASACUSA and GRASIAN experiments. The candidate is expected to spend some of his/her time at CERN, where the antihydrogen experiment is located. Atomic beams are used for hyperfine spectroscopy of groundstate atoms and studies of quantum reflection of hydrogen from surfaces with the aim of creating ultra-cold hydrogen atoms for precision experiments.
Your Tasks:
* You will participate in running atomic beam experiments at CERN and SMI and build up and execute new experiments at SMI, together with a group of graduate students and senior colleagues currently involved in the experiments.
Your Profile:
* Ph.D. in experimental physics (preferably subatomic physics or a related field).
* Familiar with some of the following techniques: microwave resonators, UHV and cryogenic techniques, lasers to detect ground-state atoms and to produce and de-excite Rydberg atoms, detectors for charged particles like MCPs. Experience with both solid state and dye lasers would be an advantage.
* Software skills are an asset, for instance for experiment control (LabView), simulation (Comsol or CST, Geant4) and data analysis (root, Python, C++).
Our Offer:
* The SMI is situated near the city centre of Vienna and offers an excellent working environment.
* An open team culture welcomes the applicant.
* An annual gross salary of € 66.501,40 according to the collective agreement of the Austrian Academy of Sciences
Please submit a motivation letter, copies of CV, Ph.D. certificate, publication list and the names of two persons that can be contacted for reference letters to smi@oeaw.ac.at (mentioning Job ID: SMI002PD125) apply until February 28th, 2025.
The position remains open until filled. More information can be obtained from SMI Jobs or by email: eberhard.widmann@oeaw.ac.at
The Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) pursues a non-discriminatory employment policy and values equal opportunities, as well as diversity. Individuals from underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
