- Location Hamburg, Germany
Job Description
The DESY astroparticle groups are involved in the major neutrino (lceCube) and gamma-ray observatories (H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS), and among the leading institutions in the future projects CTA and lceCube-Gen2. Furthermore, DESY is a member of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), and participates in the planned ULTRASAT satellite mission. The experimental groups collaborate in the application of modern data analysis methods, support the development of open-source scientific software, and are accompanied by a vibrant astroparticle theory group. DESY is closely connected to universities in Berlin, and is a partner in the Helmholtz Einstein International Research School in Data Science.
The DESY lceCube group is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in the context of the KISS project, a national consortium of ten research centres in Germany led by the Universität Hamburg and funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The main goal of this project is the development of machine learning methods for the resource-efficient simulation of complex scientific datasets in particle physics, astroparticle physics, hadron- and nuclear physics, and astronomy.
About your role:
- Work in a Germany-wide consortium with many partners on advancing state-of-the-art simulations, e.g. accelerating extensive air shower simulalions through intelligent steering, or developing and applying generative models for detector response simulation
- Participate in data analysis as a member of the lceCube Collaboration
- Lead publications and present results
- Assist in training and day-to-day supervision of students
Good reasons to join:
Look forward to a unique working environment on our international research campus. We attach particular importance to appreciative cooperation and the well-being of our DESY employees. Gender equality is an important aspect for us. To support work life balance we offer flexible working hours, variable part-time, job-sharing models and participation in mobile work. You will benefit from our family-friendly and collegial atmosphere, our established health management and occupational pension provision. As a public funded employer, we offer you a secure workplace and facilitate your individual career with our comprehensive training and development opportunities. Remuneration is according to the regulations of the TV-AVH. DESY offers its employees a financial supplement for a job ticket at both locations.
About you:
- PhD in physics, astronomy, or other relevant field or equivalent qualification
- Deep knowledge of Monte Carlo simulation for particle or astroparticle physics experiments
- Experience with machine learning in Python
- Strong motivation to solve difficult problems
- Excellent knowledge of English
