PhD student position in Experimental Physics with Focus on Astroparticle Physics
PhD student position in Experimental Physics with Focus on Astroparticle Physics at the Department of Physics. Reference number SU FV-0277-14. Deadline for applications: March 3, 2014.

Subject: Physics

Project description
A PhD position is announced in experimental particle physics with specialization astroparticle physics. Focus of this project is on analysis and interpretation of data from the gamma-ray satellite Fermi.

The Fermi satellite has been launched in 2008 and opened an new window on the universte to study some of the most intriguing questions of modern physics: how are the largest explosions in the Universe produced, how do the largest cosmic particle accelerators work and – last but not least – what is the mysterious dark matter. Fermi will during 2014 achieve its ultimate sensitivity, which implies the possibility of new exciting discoveries.

Dark matter was discovered already in the 1930s by the Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky. Today it is established beyond any doubt that dark matter is a new type of particle, whose nature is unknown. What we now is that its mass density is about 5 times higher. Our group focuses on analyzing Fermi-data to find traces of dark matter that can give rise to gamma rays when dark matter annihilates or decays. No traces have been found so far, but our improved analysis methods have helped excluding many popular candidates, see for example: www.su.se/english/about/2.291/press-releases/one-step-closer-to-dark-matter-in-universe-1.36693.

Fermi is a large international collaboration and we collaborate closely with for example the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford University.

The Department of Physics is an internationally lively research environment, situated in the AlbaNova University Center, and has about 180 employees, 250 undergraduate students and 80 PhD students. For more information about the department, see www.fysik.su.se.

Education at the research level
A PhD education at Stockholm University is four years (48 months). The 4-year PhD program includes at least 3 years of research and at most one year of course work. The position may be extended by up to 1 year if up to 20 % teaching assistance or administration is included in the contract. During the beginning of the PhD education, the student receives a study grant ("utbildningsbidrag"), and after at most one year she/he acquires a PhD studentship ("doktorandanställning"). From July 1st 2015 employment will be the only option.

Requirements
To be accepted as a PhD student in Physics one should have studied at least four years at a University and have a BSc in Physics. These studies must include advanced courses in Physics during one year and an advanced degree project (a detailed description of a project in progress may suffice).

Selection
The successful applicant will be selected based on documented theoretical and experimental knowledge relevant for the area of study, knowledge of scientific theory and method, analytical skills, personal motivation and team working skills. Well-developed English language skills are required. The applicants are encouraged to provide supporting documents that substantiate qualifications, e.g., knowledge, skills, abilities and experience. References and interviews will be used to assess qualifications of the applicants. We seek a self-motivated candidate with good analytical abilities and skills in English.

Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from discrimination and gives equal opportunities for all.

The decision cannot be appealed.
