PhD Position in the ATLAS Instrumentation Group

The ATLAS Pixels Group at IFAE invites applications for a PhD position focused on advanced silicon pixel detector development for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) . The group is deeply involved in the design, testing, and characterisation of next-generation pixel sensors and timing detectors, including contributions to the High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) and the Inner Tracker (ITk) Pixel Detector of the ATLAS experiment at CERN . Research includes radiation-hard 3D silicon sensors , ultrafast Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) , Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (DMAPS) , and integration with state-of-the-art readout ASICs (i.e. Medipix4/Timepix4). Beyond collider applications, detector R&D also addresses technologies for synchrotron radiation instrumentation and medical imaging. The work is carried out in close collaboration with the nearby National Center of Mic...
