國立臺灣大學實驗微中子物理研究團隊誠徵博士後研究人員
國立臺灣大學實驗微中子物理團隊參與國際合作實驗 LEGEND 計畫，旨在探究微中子的本質，並透過觀測稀有的無微中子雙貝他衰變（neutrinoless double beta decay）來量測有效的馬約拉那（Majorana）微中子質量。該計畫於義大利格蘭薩索國家實驗室（LNGS）執行，藉由將高純鍺探測器浸沒於液態氬中以辨識稀有衰變事件並抑制背景雜訊。本團隊正於臺大物理系內建置液態氬設備，研究新一代波長轉換材料，並研究高純鍺探測器在低溫環境下的特性與響應。錄取者將負責該設施的設計、建置與運行。
申請資格：
- 近期取得博士學位者，領域為實驗核子物理、粒子物理、原子物理或加速器物理。預計三個月內取得學位者亦可申請。
- 熟悉微中子物理，具備數年相關領域硬體操作經驗。
- 熟悉低溫系統、光感測器（如光電倍增管）、鍺探測器、低背景量測、統計資料分析及 蒙地卡羅模擬者尤佳。

Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Neutrino Physics
The Experimental Neutrino Physics Group at National Taiwan University (NTU) invites applications for a postdoctoral research position focusing on the LEGEND experiment. LEGEND seeks to uncover the nature of neutrinos and measure the effective Majorana neutrino mass by observing the rare neutrinoless double beta decay in 76Ge. As a two-phase project based at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, LEGEND employs enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) diodes both as the decay source and as signal detectors, achieving exceptional detection efficiency. The detectors are immersed in liquid argon (LAr), which also functions as an active veto system to identify the rare decay events while minimizing background noise.
At NTU, our group is developing an on-site LAr facility within the department to study next-generation wavelength-shifting materials and investigate HPGe detector characteristics in cryogenic environments. The successful candidate will be responsible for all aspects of this facility, from design and setup to operation.
Qualifications:
- A recent PhD in experimental nuclear, particle, atomic, or accelerator physics. Candidates expecting to complete their PhD within three months are also encouraged to apply.
- Knowledge of neutrino physics and several years of graduate-level hardware experience in one of the above fields.
- Experience with cryogenic systems, optical sensors (e.g., silicon photomultipliers), Ge detectors, low-background counting, statistical data analyses, and Monte Carlo simulations is highly advantageous.
Applications process:
Please submit your application by email to Asst. Prof. Dr. Pin-Jung Chiu at pin-jung.chiu@phys.ntu.edu.tw, including the following documents:
- Cover letter
- Statement of research experience and interests
- Detailed curriculum vitae, including a list of publications
- Copies of final university degree certificates
Additionally, please arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent to the same address. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
