Popis:

Are you interested in working within neutrino astrophysics, supported by competent and friendly colleagues in an international environment? Do you want an employer that invests in sustainable employee engagement and offers secure, favorable working conditions? We welcome your application for a postdoctoral position at Uppsala University. Research conducted at the Department of Physics and Astronomy encompasses a broad spectrum of physics topics, distributed across nine divisions. The department is located in the Ångström Laboratory and employs nearly 400 people, including 100 doctoral students. It offers a comprehensive physics curriculum for undergraduate and doctoral students, participation in nationally and internationally leading research projects, opportunities for partnerships with industry, and various outreach activities. uu.se/fysik The department's astroparticle physics group focuses on studying neutrinos as messengers to understand our universe. You will work at the research frontier as we enter a new era for the IceCube Collaboration with the recently completed Upgrade. You will also become part of the EU-funded ACME project, which provides additional resources for your work and opportunities to network with other experiments. Responsibilities The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role within the IceCube Collaboration, particularly in neutrino astrophysics related to the newly installed upgrade. Research focusing on deep learning, low-energy astrophysics, and/or multimessenger astronomy will be prioritized. Additionally, the candidate will be responsible for strengthening the interface between the SuperNova Early Warning System (SNEWS) and other multimessenger experiments as a member of the ACME project. Qualifications Doctoral degree in physics or astronomy, or a foreign degree assessed as equivalent to a doctoral degree. The degree must be completed by the time the employment decision is made. Preference will be given to candidates who completed their degree within the past three years. In calculating the three-year period, the deadline for application is the starting point. If there are special circumstances, the degree may have been completed earlier. Special circumstances include leave due to illness, parental leave, positions of trust within labor organizations, etc. Good communication skills in both spoken and written English are required. Desirable/Meriting Qualifications Experience in software development, including strong proficiency in Python and deep learning, data analysis, neutrino astrophysics, and/or neutrino detection is considered meritorious. Candidates should be able to work independently and integrate well within a large international collaboration. About the Position The employment is time-limited for 2 years according to central collective agreement. Full-time position. Start date September 1, 2026, or by agreement.
