**Job Description**
The PhD researcher will take a leading role in a search for charged lepton flavour violating decays of b hadrons using data from the LHCb experiment at CERN. This research aims to advance the understanding of physics beyond the Standard Model. Additionally, the role involves contributing to the development of the next upgrade for the LHCb readout system, thereby preparing the experiment for future data taking.

**Skills & Abilities**
• Keen interest in particle physics and data processing at high-energy physics experiments.
• Strong background in (experimental) particle physics and statistical data analysis (added advantage).
• Experience with programming languages (e.g., Python, C++) (considered a plus).
• Strong team player with well-developed communication and collaboration skills.
• Excellent command of written and spoken English.
• Strong analytical skills.
• Willingness to acquire a variety of additional skills (e.g., physics modelling, statistical data analysis, hardware programming).

**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Physics
• Closely related field
