Job Description

Your tasks

The search for the muon electric dipole moment is searching for a signal of beyond- Standard-Model physics. You will setup and work on a precursor experiment demonstrating novel techniques and deploying for the first time the frozen-spin method.

You will study and design the electric field electrodes inside the solenoid to experimental demonstrate the frozen-spin technique. For this, you will:
  • Study and design the electric field and the cylindrical electrode system
  • You will program the control software and integrate it into the general DAQ
  • You will plan and perform first measurements with the electric field to demonstrate the frozen spin technique
  • Participate and contribute to all aspects of the new experimental apparatus

Your profile

We seek a talented and ambitious candidate who is highly motivated to work on this innovative project in a newly founded research team and within an international collaboration.

  • Master degree in Physics
  • High interest in fundamental muon physics and experimental techniques
  • Practical experience in experimental physics in appreciated
  • Ability to work independently
  • Good programming skills are required
  • Good level of English (C1) as working language in spoken and written from is mandatory
  • Knowledge of German or willingness to learn German is a plus
