Full time: 35 hours per week.
Fixed Term: For 39 months.
The Opportunity:
The international XLZD consortium is developing a next-generation rare event observatory based on the world-leading liquid xenon technology. The experiment will search for electro-weak-scale particle dark matter and enable world-class sensitivity to other rare physics processes such as neutrinoless double-beta decay and astrophysical neutrino interactions. Building on expertise from the world-leading LZ detector, our group has strategic leadership in the Outer Detector for the UK XLZD project, which aims to bring the experiment to the UK’s Boulby Underground Laboratory. This position is a combination of essential simulation and design studies with hardware and prototyping work, and you will join a growing and vibrant dark matter group consisting of two academics, three PDRAs and four PhD students.
