To
strengthen our KATRIN++ team, we are looking for motivated and dedicated
early-career scientists (f/m/d) who are eager to join us in developing the next-generation
experiment for the direct determination of the neutrino mass. Our work lies at
the intersection of fundamental research and cutting-edge technology. We
particularly welcome creative minds who enjoy hands-on work in the laboratory
and are driven by curiosity and commitment to advance state-of-the-art
experimental methods.
Institute for Astroparticle Physics (IAP)
The focus of your research will be the characterization of Metallic Magnetic Calorimeters (MMCs) and other quantum sensors in external magnetic fields (up to 50 mT)You will independently design experimental setups for a 10 mK dilution
refrigerator, perform measurements , and analyze the resulting data
In addition, you will model detector performance (timing an energy
resolution), compare simulations with experimental data, and extrapolate
the sensitivity to the neutrino mass in the context of potential quantum
sensor sensor array using a tritium
source like at KATRINParticipation in teaching and outreach activities is expected.There is the possibility of pursuing a doctorate in addition to academic work.
