The DESY Belle II group is involved in data analyses focusing on B‑ and tau‑physics. In addition, the group is involved in various performance groups, such as tracking, charged particle identification and neutral particle reconstruction, as well as in operation of the Belle II pixel vertex detector. The PhD position is based at DESY Hamburg, with an affiliation with the University of Hamburg.
About your role:
- Analysis of Belle II data with focus on either the tau‑ or B‑meson physics
- Service task: contribution to one of the performance groups or software development for the recently installed pixel detector
- Contribution to data taking and production (shifts)
- Presentations at international workshops and conferences
About you:
- Diploma/Master's in physics with excellent grades
- Knowledge and interest in particle physics
- Strong software skills (python, ROOT, C++)
- Good teamwork and communications skills
- Good English language skills
- Ability and eligibility to travel to Japan
