The candidate will oversee the procurement of small pitch, thin column 3D silicon pixel sensors and follow up the production with the company. They will characterise the timing performance and radiation hardness of a range of samples. The characterisation will be carried out with a dedicated electronic board, both in testbeam and the lab, and studies will be done bonded to Timepix4 ASICs. The candidate will contribute to the Timepix4 telescope test-beam campaign and participate in the project to design a future radiation hard sensor with internal gain.

Skills and/or knowledge

• Experience of characterisation of silicon sensors.
• Experience of handling and characterisation of irradiated silicon sensors.
• Knowledge of simulation and design of sensors and/or electronics is an advantage.

You have a professional background in Applied Physics (or a related field) and have either:

• a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
• or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
