Utrecht University in Netherlands 2022 PhD International Positions in Particle Physics

This PhD project is part of the A Large Ion Collider Experiment  external link(ALICE) programme in which high-energy collisions of heavy lead ions are used to create and study the high-temperature state of the strong interaction: the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). ALICE is one of the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva. As a PhD candidate you are involved in research projects using so-called hard probes, in which quarks and gluons with high momentum are produced during collisions and are used to probe the QGP. During the projects the analysis of the experimental data is combined with model studies to interpret and understand the results. As a PhD candidate you should have a strong interest in fundamental (particle) physics and affinity with large scale data analysis, including statistical techniques and the programming of analysis algorithms. Prior experience in some of these areas is considered an advantage.

You will become a member of the ALICE group at the Institute for Gravitation and Subatomic Physics  external link(GRASP) at Utrecht University and will collaborate closely with the ALICE group at Nikhef  external link.
