Job Description
Location: Wien,,
Unlock Your Potential as a PhD Student in Detector Development and Readout Electronics
In this exciting role, you will be part of an innovative team working at the forefront of experimental particle physics and medical physics. As a PhD student, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the design, development, and characterization of ultra-fast, precise, and radiation-tolerant beam position and intensity detectors and their associated readout electronics.
Key Responsibilities:
- Detector Design and Characterization: You will be responsible for designing, simulating, and characterizing semiconductor detectors, with a focus on silicon carbide (SiC) radiation sensors. This will involve irradiation tests and other evaluation methods to ensure optimal performance.
- Module Assembly and Testing: You will assemble and characterize SiC sensor modules for laboratory and beam test measurements, ensuring they meet the required standards.
- Electronics Development and Characterization: You will develop and characterize analog and digital electronics for high dynamic range readout, working closely with the research team to optimize detector performance.
Requirements:
- Qualifications: A Master’s degree in electrical engineering or physics is essential, along with experience in the development, characterization, and/or operation of particle detectors.
- Programming Skills: Proficiency in Linux, Python, and/or C++ programming languages and data analysis techniques is required.
- Microelectronics Knowledge: General knowledge of microelectronics and FPGAs (VHDL or Verilog) is desirable.
- Radiation Physics and Dosimetry: Knowledge in radiation physics and dosimetry is necessary for success in this role.
- Collaboration Skills: Excellent interdisciplinary collaboration skills are essential, with the ability to work effectively with physics, medical, and engineering teams.
