Missions

The Belle II group at IPHC searches for physics beyond the standard model in flavour changing neutral current b --> s transitions, focusing on B0 --> KS π+ π- γ and B --> K(*) nu anti-nu decays. The group participates also to the operation of the silicon vertex detector (SVD) and prepares its upgrade with CMOS pixel sensors planned by 2027.

The successful candidate will join the group effort with a priority put on the measurement of time dependent CP asymmetries in B0 --> Kres γ modes, targeting the first publication on this topic combining Belle and Belle II data. He or she may also contribute to the other group activities, and will in addition participate to the Belle II data taking, student supervision and outreach activities.

Contexte de travail

The IPHC, a joint research unit under the joint supervision of CNRS and the University of Strasbourg (UMR7178), is a multidisciplinary laboratory where research teams from different scientific cultures (ecology, physiology and ethology, chemistry and subatomic physics) develop very high level programs based on scientific instrumentation. The IPHC is structured into 4 departments and has a total staff of 393 staff including 257 permanent staff (i.e. 119 researchers and teachers / researchers, and 138 Technicals), 46 staff on fixed-term contracts and 90 doctoral students.
The post-doctoral researcher will be welcomed into the Belle II team which includes 4 researchers, a post-doctoral researcher and two doctoral students. The recruited post-doctoral researcher will work under the responsibility of Dr. Isabelle Ripp-Baudot and become a member of the Belle II international collaboration. Travels to the experiment site in Japan and to national and international conferences and workshops will be planned.
