Postdoc Position Detector Development

In the framework of a German wide BMBF funded project related to 
instrumentation developments for the future European spallation source ESS we 
are looking for a Postdoc to join corresponding efforts at the Helmholtz 
Zentrum Berlin (http://www.helmholtz-berlin.de).

The candidate is expected to participate in the optimization and test of high 
performance readout electronics for position sensitive neutron detectors. The 
detectors are designed for global rate capabilities of up to 108/s and suited 
to cope with highest demands of special experiments at the European Spallation 
Source ESS. The read-out electronics is based on a CMOS ASIC and signals are 
further processed by state-of-the-art FPGA technologies (e.g. Xilinx Virtex-
5). Tests of readout electronics and performance evaluation of the detector 
will be an important task carried out in laboratory and at the detector test 
station of HZB. We are offering a very interesting work at the leading edge of 
detector development and provide a laboratory with up-to-date equipment. The 
project is part of the Redesign Phase of ESS and funded by BMBF.

The successful candidate holds a degree in physics, engineering or related 
subjects. You should be highly motivated and have a basic knowledge of nuclear 
measurement techniques. His/her responsibility in the project will be the 
optimization of a high speed FPGA based readout board, which requires the 
usage of advanced design and layout techniques for printed circuit boards. In 
order to carry out an appropriate testing of his/her developments, knowledge 
of VHDL and other programming languages are advantageous. Good oral and 
written English skills and a capacity for  teamwork in a project with national 
and international partners are expected.

The appointment is for three years. Applicants should send a letter of 
application, CV, copies of diploma and PhD certificates and a list of 
publications to Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, Abt. Personal und Soziales, Hahn-
Meitner-Platz 1, D-14109 Berlin, (e-mail: 
personalabteilung@helmholtz-berlin.de) before 14 January 2011 quoting 
reference No. G2010/18.

For further details about the position please contact Dr. Thomas Wilpert
(e-mail: wilpert@helmholtz-berlin.de) or Dr. Klaus Habicht (e-mail: 
habicht@helmholtz-berlin.de
