We announce the recruitment in the OPUS NCN project entitled "Precision symmetry tests between matter and antimatter via measurements of the decays of positronium atoms using the modular J-PET tomograph".
The research group of P. Moskal invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the project entitled „Precision symmetry tests between matter and anti-matter via measurements of the decays of positronium atoms using the modular J-PET tomograph”.
The minimum requirements for candidates are:
- PhD diploma in Natural Sciences, Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics or related field of science.
- Experience in radiation detectors calibration, advanced multi-level data analysis, Monte-Carlo simulations, advanced level statistical inference, relativistic kinematics and computer programming.
- Good knowledge of English (spoken and written).
The successful applicant is expected to perform following research tasks:
- Elaboration of methods for the reconstruction of time and position of decays of para- and ortho-positronium atoms and methods for the determination of polarisation of gamma quanta and positronium atoms. Measurements with the J-PET-192strip and modular J-PET-312strip tomographs equipped with the spherical annihilation chamber and COSMIC RADIATION VETO DETECTOR;
- Data taking and data quality checks;
- On-line calibration of the whole detection system; Elaboration of methods for identification and selection of registered events;
- Elaboration and validation of the background suppression methods;
- Conceptual work aiming at elaboration of new observables for the test of discrete symmetries with the J-PET detector;
- Interpretation of results, preparation of scientific articles, presentation of results at conferences and scientific meetings.
The candidates should submit applications containing the following documents
- short application including motivation letter (maximum three pages),
- scientific CV including list of publications ,
- at least two letters of recommendation ( preferentially send directly to P. Moskal via e-mail).
All documents should be submitted in the pdf format to the address: p.moskal@uj.edu.pl
The position will start on the 1st of January 2021 and will be available maximally for three years.
We offer contract with the remuneration of 10000 PLN per month brutto-brutto equivalent to about 6000 PLN netto plus social and health insurance
