About this position
CNRS / Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien (IPHC), Strasbourg, France, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in particle physics for the PICSEL team and the FCC-SEED research programme.
The position focuses on vertex detector R&D for FCC-ee, including the development and testing of a novel detector concept based on curved silicon sensors and Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS), especially curved MIMOSIS sensors. The successful candidate will contribute to laboratory characterization, test-beam preparation and data taking, data analysis, detector simulation, and performance optimisation.
Research topics include particle physics, silicon detectors, detector simulation, tracking, flavor tagging, CKM matrix element measurements, flavor physics, and top quark physics. The role also involves implementing FCC-SEED geometries in the Key4hep full-simulation framework and carrying out physics-performance studies.
Applicants should hold a PhD in particle physics or equivalent. Desired experience includes silicon detector technologies, experimental/instrumentation work, detector characterization or beam tests, programming in C++, Python, and ROOT, and familiarity with Git. Experience with track/vertex reconstruction, Monte Carlo simulation, or particle-physics data analysis is an advantage. English at B2 level is required; basic French is listed.
The contract is full-time and temporary. The post mentions staff restaurant access, partial transportation reimbursement, a works council, possible teleworking one to two days per week for some activities, and training. The application deadline is 30 October 2026.
