Job description
We are looking for candidates for two PhD positions:
- One focused on Flavour Physics (with Prof. dr. Robert Fleischer). The successful candidate for this position will utilize flavour processes, in particular decays of B mesons, to explore patterns of New Physics in observables accessible at the high-precision frontier
- The second position is focused on the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (with Dr. Juan Rojo). The successful candidate for this position will focus on phenomenological interpretation of data from the LHC and other experiments within the SMEFT, with emphasis on the development and application of new machine learning techniques.
Requirements Applicants should have a Master degree (or equivalent) in physics and good knowledge of Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model. Good software skills are desirable.
Further information on these positions can be obtained from the head of the Nikhef theoretical physics group, Prof.dr. Robert Fleischer (robert.fleischer@nikhef.nl).
