Phd Position In Experimental Neutrino Physics

PhD Position in Experimental Neutrino Physics

We invite applications for a PhD position in experimental neutrino physics at the Valencia Experimental Group of Astroparticles (VEGA) at IFIC, within the KM3NeT–ORCA collaboration.

The position is funded by the La Caixa Foundation (HOvER project) and focuses on hadronic shower modelling, Monte Carlo simulations, and neutrino oscillation analyses using real ORCA data.

The successful candidate will join the KM3NeT collaboration, working within the ORCA (Oscillation Research with Cosmics in the Abyss) detector, a next‑generation deep‑sea Cherenkov telescope designed to study neutrino oscillations and determine the neutrino mass ordering using atmospheric neutrinos, which is already taking data.

Responsibilities

• Study hadronic shower production in neutrino‑nucleus Monte‑Carlo simulations.
• Develop a data‑driven approach to quantify and reduce systematic uncertainties in modelling...
