Post-Doctoral (Or Post-Graduate) Researcher On The Sismuv Grant

The Astroparticle Space group at INFN Trieste is seeking a motivated post-doctoral or post-graduate candidate to work on a project aimed at bridging the technological gap in the use of UV solid-state detectors in space to study fluorescence and Cherenkov signals. The main task of the successful candidate will be to develop Monte Carlo simulations of the response of a SiPM-based detector for geometry and performance optimization. The development work also includes participating in the characterization and testing of the detector. The position is intended to cover the full duration of the project, offering excellent visibility and opportunities to present findings at international conferences. Applicants should hold a Master's degree in Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Materials Science, Physics, Astronomy, or Chemistry obtained no more than nine years before the call deadline. The selected candidate will be based in Trieste, Italy, with visits to other sites within the INFN divisions as needed for the project. The contract is expected to commence in the summer of 2024, with some flexibility as required. The initial appointment is for 18 months, with a possible extension of an additional year. The salary is approximately 1850 € net, with an additional 5000 € travel allowance for candidates who did not graduate in Trieste. Interested individuals are encouraged to send their curriculum vitae as soon as possible, but no later than April 26, 2024. The curriculum vitae should include a description of research experience, a list of publications, and contact information for two references. Expressions of interest should be sent via email to Riccardo Munini, ****** Valentina Scotti,****** #J-18808-Ljbffr
