Description du poste

Organisation/Company CNRS Department Laboratoire Physique Nucléaire et Hautes Energies Research Field Physics Researcher Profile Recognised Researcher (R2) Country France Application Deadline 11 Dec 2025 - 23:59 (UTC) Type of Contract Temporary Job Status Full-time Hours Per Week 35 Offer Starting Date 1 Jan 2026 Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No

Offer Description

The position is focused primarily on the development of silicon sensors for the vertex detector and the timing layers of the future FCC-ee experiments and application to the FCC-ee physics program; technology options presently considered are Monolithic Active Pixels (MAPS) for the vertex and MAPS or pixelated Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) for the timing layers.

The successful candidate is expected to take on scientific responsibilities in both areas of silicon sensors and study of the impact on physics analyses.

The Laboratoire de Physique Nucléaire et des Hautes Energies (LPNHE) is a high energy physics, astroparticle and cosmology laboratory located in the center of Paris with a staff of 90 physicists and 50 engineers and technicians. It is funded by CNRS/IN2P3, Sorbonne Université and Université Paris Cité. The ATLAS/FCC group at LPNHE is composed of about 30 physicists and engineers, heavily contributing to instrumentation development and physics analysis.
The candidate will be primarily based in Paris, with frequent travels to CERN.

Candidates should have a PhD in experimental high-energy physics by the date of appointment, or a known defense date in the near future. A former experience in detector development is a plus but it is not mandatory either.
Language: fluence in written and spoken English. Good communication skill and ability to work in a team.
Applicants should submit a detailed CV, a cover letter explaining the interest in the position and a research program.
Application should be made through CNRS recruitment website
