PhD Research Fellow in Particle Detectors (ref 260217)

The position is part of the project Microfabrication of finely segmented Silicon sensors with charge multiplication for next generation LIGHt sources and particle Trackers (Si-LIGHT), funded by the Research Council of Norway.

The main objective of the project is fabrication of silicon sensors with charge multiplication for next generation X-ray sources and particle trackers using the concept of low gain avalanche diode (LGAD). LGAD will enable the ultra-high spatial resolution soft X-ray imaging that is foreseen for the future X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFEL), synchrotrons and particle accelerators.

The Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) comprises UiO's focus on renewable energy, materials science, and nanotechnology. SMN is an interdisciplinary collaboration between five research groups in physics and chemistry, and spearheads the MN Faculty's efforts for sustainable energy solutions.

The position is supported by the Norwegian Research Centre in collaboration with SINTEF. The project consortium has a research infrastructure covering the whole value chain from sensor design to functional characterisation.
