Early stage researcher position available at the J. Stefan Institute for the research on the particle identification system for the BELLE II detector.

---

We are looking for a young experimental physicist, ready to participate in research training as an early-stage researcher (3.5-year position). The research work will lead to the award of a PhD.

The research will be carried out within the upgrade of the Belle spectrometer to Belle II at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan. The Belle II collaboration is one of the best known research groups in particle physics; its predecessor, the Belle experiment, has significantly contributed to the experimental confirmation of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism of CP violation, for which the Nobel prize was awarded in 2008. The early stage researcher will focus his/her research in on the commissioning of the proximity focusing ring imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector, on the data taking with the Belle spectrometer and on the analysis of recorded data.

The candidates should send a CV, a list of exams and a copy of the diploma or master certificate to peter.krizan @ ijs.si. They should also arrange for two letters of reference to be sent to the same email address.

The deadline for applications is Aug 18, 2016.
