Job description

Offer DescriptionCOMPETITION OPENING DATE DECEMBER 6, 2024Research work will be carried out at the Department of Particles and Fundamental Interactions of the Institute of Experimental Physics, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, as part of the NCN project “Study of neutrino oscillations in the improved Super-Kamiokande detector”, headed by dr Magdalena Posiadała-Zezula. The project concerns the search for the hierarchy of neutrino masses based on studies of atmospheric neutrino oscillations and neutrinos from the Tokai-2-Kamioka (T2K) beam in the Super-Kamiokande detector. The assistant professor will study methods of reconstruction and selection of neutrino interaction cases, taking into account information from neutron capture by gadolinium, whose salt compounds are currently dissolved in the Super-Kamiokande detector. It is expected that the qualified person will make a significant contribution to the development of the research group at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw, will help younger colleagues from the group during doctoral studies in their analyzes of atmospheric neutrino oscillations and neutrinos from the beam produced at the J-PARC center for the T2K project.Key responsibilities:

• understanding and usage of the oscillation analysis tools: for atmospheric neutrinos at Super-Kamiokande and T2K beam neutrinos,
• design of new classification algorithms for neutrino interactions at Super-Kamiokande
• studies of the systematic uncertainties needed for the analyses at Super-Kamiokande,
• help and guidance for the PhD students working on the same project.
• mobility – frequent travels to Japan
