hp?id=AboutThe Florence unit of the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) carries out research in the field of theoretical and experimental High Energy, Nuclear and Applied Physics.
It contributes to development of numerical models and simulations for experiment design, data analysis and statistical interpretation as part of the European-funded Project to launch a novel National Research Centre for High Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing (ICSC).
unctionsThe selected candidate will take part in the development of simulation techniques in the domain of High Energy Physics, based on machine learning technologies.
art of the research activity will be devoted to the application of Physics Informed Machine Learning techniques to the simulation of physical systems, including semiconductor radiation detectors.
n parallel, the selected candidate will focus on the application of Generative Models (mainly Generative Adversarial Networks and Normalizing Flows) to simulate the digitized and reconstructed response of large experimental apparatus, taking the LHCb experiment at CERN and its future upgrades as paradigmatic examples.
xperience and CompetenciesA master degree in Mathematics, Engineering, Informatics, Physics or Chemistry obtained during the last 9 years is required.
n addition at least 24 months of experience in processing or analyzing scientific or technological data, or in developing numerical models for physical systems are requested.
asic understanding of particle physics and radiation-matter interaction mechanisms is expected.
xperience with the data ecosystem of Python, with machine learning and with cloud technologies is also appreciated.
anguage skillsThe research activity will be developed in an international context, making English the primary language for the work context.
he ability to understand and speak Italian, or the willingness to acquire it, is highly appreciated but not required.
ligibilityDiversity has been an integral part of INFN mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Institute.
