Postdoc Neutrino Physics (DUNE Experiment)

The 2-year research contract offer is with the AstroParticle and Cosmology Laboratory (APC) in Paris. APC is participating in the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), an international collaboration with more than a thousand members and more than 30 countries involved. The project is hosted by FNAL and SURF (USA), with prototyping and engineering work also carried out at CERN (Switzerland).

The APC DUNE group currently has six faculty members and four PhD students. It was heavily involved in various aspects of the experiment: analysis of the data collected by the prototype at CERN (ProtoDUNE), simulations and optimization of the neutrino event reconstruction algorithms, development of the readout electronics for the photo-detection system, and development of the analysis framework for an analysis of oscillations in DUNE using atmospheric neutrinos. Over the next few years, the group plans to continue its analysis activities, including a detailed study of the systematic uncertainties related to reconstruction and their impact on oscillation sensitivities. These studies should be conducted on simulated data, as well as beam data from ProtoDUNE.
