Offer Description

Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) now offers a new fellowship program, the CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor. The fellowship aims at external international scientists who are currently conducting research abroad. Applicants must have completed their PhD within the last seven years (eg. 2016 or later). The fellowship aims at authors (co-authors) of three or more publications in a journal with IF.

The Department of Physics of FNSPE CTU is currently involved in development of detectors for two large experiments. We have a leading role in the design and construction of FSD (forward spectator detector) for the CBM experiment at GSI laboratory as well as in the development of luminosity measurements and electron-tagging instrumentation for ePIC project of the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Both of these detectors are based on a combination of scintillators and silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) technologies. Characterization of material properties and development and testing of detector components are hence of a considerable interest within our detector center. The candidate will work on the design and testing of the scintillator modules and readout and control electronics. He or she will also take part in the design and construction of the FSD detector which should be finished by 2027. Hence substantial part of the detector project will be carried out during the period planned for this position.
