Call summary

The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites applications for its particle physics experiment opportunity for postdoctoral research assistants (PDRA). This supports new responsive postdoctoral research assistant posts in the area of experimental particle physics. Applicants may apply for a maximum of four posts per group on a single proposals, for a maximum of 2.5 years.

Scientific scope

The proposals must lie in the experimental areas where CG support is provided by the particle physics grants panel, namely for exploitation of running experiments, or for blue-skies research and development not focused on a specific experiment. Proposals may be for new initiatives within or in addition to the existing consolidated grants programme, but proposals for PDRA positions for construction or project or experiment-focused research and development are not eligible.

PI eligibility

Applicants must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for STFC funding.
