Postdoctoral Researcher in Particle Physics (M/F)

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The PICSEL team at IPHC (Strasbourg, France) invites applications for a postdoctoral position focused on the development of a novel vertex detector concept for FCC-ee. The successful candidate will contribute to detector prototype testing, detector simulation and optimization, and the evaluation of detector performance in the context of physics analyses. FCC-ee has emerged as the preferred option for the next collider at CERN. Designed as a high-luminosity, high-precision electron–positron collider, FCC-ee will provide unprecedented experimental sensitivity and push the boundaries of our knowledge across a broad range of topics in particle physics, from precision studies of the Higgs and electroweak sectors to flavor and top-quark physics, as well as searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model. Fully exploiting the unprecedented capabilities of FCC-ee will require a new generation of particle detectors combining high precision with high efficiency. In particular, the innermost tracking system—the vertex detector—will rely on advanced silicon sensor technologies to reconstruct charged-particle trajectories with the highest possible spatial resolution and particle detection efficiency. Achieving these ambitious performance goals requires the development of innovative silicon sensors and detector concepts that minimize the amount of material traversed by particles. These technolog
