Applied Physicist for Pixel-detector Hybridisation

vor 3 Wochen


Geneve, Schweiz CERN Vollzeit

**Job Description** Your responsibilities**

The CERN EP strategic R&D program on technologies for future experiments pursues an extensive development program for advanced silicon detectors. The hybridisation of sensors and readout ASICs and the integration of detectors into functional modules, addressed in Work Package 1.3 (Modules), are among the major challenges for achieving reliable high-performance large-area tracking and timing detector systems with mínimal material content at an affordable cost.

The foreseen activities include:

- Contribution to the development and validation of in-house hybridisation processes based on advanced interconnect technologies such as conductive adhesives.
- Production of functional hybrid assemblies of ASICs and sensors in collaboration with the participating projects.
- Contribution to the preparation and maintenance of testing infrastructure for laboratory and test-beam measurements.
- Performance testing of prototypes in laboratory measurements and with particle beams.
- Reliability tests (thermal cycling, irradiations) on mechanical and functional samples, development of suitable QA and QC procedures for yield measurement and failure classification, performance measurements before and after thermal cycling and irradiations.
- Contribution to the development and operation of a multi-chip module demonstrator system.
- Analysis of test data, documentation and publication of results.

**Your profile**

Skills and/or knowledge
- The foreseen activities require previous experience with silicon-detector technology.
- Fluent in English.

Eligibility criteria:

- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
- You have a professional background in Physics (or a related field) and have either:

- a **Master's degree with 2 to 6 years** of post-graduation professional experience;
- or a **PhD with no more than 3 years** of post-graduation professional experience.
- You have never had a CERN fellow or graduate contract before.

**Additional Information**
Job closing date**:April 3 at 23:59 PM CET.**

Job reference: EP-DT-TP-2024-46-GRAP

Contract duration: 24 months, with a possible extension up to 36 months maximum.

Target start date: 01-June-2024

This position requires:

- Work in Radiation Areas.
- Work during nights, Sundays and official holidays, when required by the needs of the Organization.

**What we offer**
- A monthly stipend ranging between **6194 and 6808 Swiss Francs per month (net of tax)**.
- Coverage by CERN's comprehensive **health scheme** (for yourself, your spouse and children), and membership of the CERN **Pension Fund**.
- Depending on your individual circumstances: installation grant; family, child and infant allowances; payment of travel expenses at the beginning and end of contract.
- ** 30 days of paid leave per year**.
- On-the-job and formal training at CERN as well as in-house language courses for English and/or French.
