PhD Position in experimental Astroparticle Physics

We are involved in the new DELight experiment which will use a cryogenic superfluid liquid helium-4 target to search for light dark matter. Our group in Freiburg is involved in background reduction and simulation, material selection and will prepare the underground site and operations, including the slow control system. The successful candidate is expected to play an active role in some of these activities. Applicants should have a Master's degree (or equivalent) in physics and knowledge in particle/astroparticle/nuclear physics. Programming skills are highly beneficial. Interested candidates are encouraged to send a short motivation letter stating their research interests, a CV with a list of publications (if available), a link to the electronic masters/diploma thesis, degree certificates and study transcripts, and names and email addresses of two potential references to sekretariat.schumann@physik.uni-freiburg.de. Please send applications in electronic form (one single pdf file). For further information, please contact sebastian.lindemann@physik.uni-freiburg.de or marc.schumann@physik.uni-freiburg.de. The position is to be filled from 1 July 2026 and will remain open until filled. Applications are reviewed in the order they are received.
