Start Date

Flexible, by arrangement.

Employment Relationship

Fixed-term position.

Project Description

The n2EDM experiment aims to search for the electric dipole moment of the neutron, providing a sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model and exploring new sources of CP violation. The University of Bern has been a longstanding member of the neutron EDM collaboration, contributing to the development and operation of experimental hardware, data analysis, simulations, and systematic effects control.

This position is based at the University of Bern, specifically at the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics (AEC) and the Laboratory for High Energy Physics (LHEP). The successful candidate will be engaged in regular experimental work at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and will be fully integrated into the n2EDM experimental program, participating actively in data-taking shifts and experiment operations.

Tasks

The successful candidate will:

• Join the Fundamental Neutron and Precision Physics Group at AEC/LHEP.
• Contribute to the n2EDM experiment at PSI in Villigen, Switzerland.

Profile

We are looking for applicants who:

• Hold or expect to obtain an MSc degree in physics.
• Have a strong interest in experimental physics, precision measurements, data analysis, and computational methods.
• Possess experience in programming, Monte Carlo simulations, and statistical data analysis (this is an advantage).

Your Benefits

• International reputation.
• Strong research infrastructure and an extensive international network.
• A collaborative environment with an ambitious team.
• A healthy corporate culture and a positive working atmosphere.
