Description

PhD Candidate in Experimental Astroparticle Physics

The scholarship invites applications for a Ph.D. candidate position in high-energy astroparticle physics within the Pierre Auger collaboration at Radboud University (Nijmegen, Netherlands). The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest detector ever built to study ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. You will contribute by calibrating the newly installed Radio Detector and implementing new triggers that will use the sub-detectors added in the upgrade. Other important aspects will be data analysis and refining the event reconstruction for inclined air showers using the Radio Detector. Some teaching will also be required, which will take about 10% of your working time.
