The University of MelbournePosition Number: 0065394Location: ParkvilleRole type: Full-time (Fixed-term position for 2 years)Faculty: Faculty of ScienceDepartment/School: School of PhysicsSalary: Level A – $83,468 - $113,262 (*PhD entry level $105,518) p.a. plus 17% superJoin the Experiment Particle Physics group at the University of Melbourne and seize the opportunity to work on the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment.The Hyper-Kamiokande experiment is a next-generation water Cherenkov detector currently under construction in Japan. With a fiducial volume approximately eight times that of Super-Kamiokande, it is designed to achieve significantly higher sensitivity to neutrino interactions. A key objective is to measure CP violation in the lepton sector with unprecedented precision, which could provide insight into the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. The detector will also enable precise studies of neutrino oscillations, proton decay searches, and astrophysical neutrino detection, including neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae. Hyper-Kamiokande is due to go online in 2028.In this role you will play a leading role in the calibration and physics analysis programs of the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment in Japan. You will work with members of the Hyper-Kamiokande research groups at the University of Melbourne and Monash University, which are jointly supported by an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant.Your responsibilities will include:Conduct internationally competitive research in neutrino physics, resulting in publications in high impact journalsCollaborate on this research with other Melbourne research personnelActively participate in research seminars and conferences to disseminate research findings in their area of expertise as opportunities ariseAssist and actively contribute, under the guidance of senior academics, to the preparation of research proposal submissions to external funding bodiesYou may be a great fit if: You will bring a strong research background with relevant publications in neutrino physics and expertise in developing particle detector software, driven by a passion for advancing this field.You also have:Completion of a PhD in physics in either experimental particle physics, high energy physics, or astro particle physicsDemonstrated experience in the development of software, data acquisition systems or instrumentation for particle physics experimentsDemonstrated ability to prepare research reports and manuscripts for publicationDemonstrated ability to develop, administer and see through to completion appropriately designed research projects with limited supervisionWhat we offer you!We offer the opportunity to be part of a vibrant community and enjoy a comprehensive range of benefits to support your success and sense of fulfillment, including:Supportive flexible work arrangements underpinned by our commitment to inclusion and well-beingProgressive, considerate leave provisions to empower your work-life balanceSalary packaging and access to a range of discounted services including Bupa health insuranceHealth and well-being services including a leading Employee Assistance ProgramComprehensive career development and training, plus a 25% discount on UniMelb graduate courses for your immediate family members!Your New Team – “School of Physics“The University of Melbourne's School of Physics is one of Australia's leading Physics Schools.
