Postdoc of Experimental High Energy Heavy-Ion Physics
The Experimental Subatomic Physics section at the Niels Bohr Institute invites applicants for a postdoc position in the High-Energy Heavy-Ion Group. The project is part of the research project “Initial Conditions for Quark and Gluon Matter Formation at the LHC,” which is financed by the European Research Council (ERC).
With the newly received ERC grant, the research group will develop a novel methodology using a new approach, a multi-particle cumulants technique. This will give unique insights into the initial geometric conditions, shape, size, and their correlations and fluctuations.
To achieve this, we will measure various collision systems (129Xe, 16O, and proton) during the LHC Run 3. These pioneering measurements and the resulting new analyses will decisively advance our understanding of those crucial initial conditions, the platform upon which the analysis of the collision rests.
The results of this ERC will make it possible to probe the precise nuclear structure of 129Xe, 16O at the LHC energies, a million times higher than the existing nuclear structure studies in low-energy nuclear physics.
The postdoc’s duties will include research within High Energy Heavy-Ion physics as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.

The Niels Bohr Institute as a workplace
The Niels Bohr Institute has a strong cultural heritage accumulated from our 100 years of internationally high level of research and teaching.
The initiator of our Department, Niels Bohr, had an international mindset about scientific collaboration as well as a desire for an open and open-minded atmosphere for all.
100 years later, we still have an informal and open international research environment that strives to promote research, teaching and innovation at the highest level with respect and helpfulness towards students, colleagues and all other stakeholders.
Our students, staff and partners are the source of our success and at the same time our best ambassadors. As a Department, we want to create an inspiring and challenging work environment with a good balance between work and private life.
We want the Niels Bohr Institute to be a place where people are proud of and happy to work, study and collaborate with.
