Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) invites applications for an electrical engineer position to work on the TRopIcal DEep-sea Neutrino Telescope (TRIDENT) experiment.
TRIDENT is a next-generation neutrino telescope, designed to swiftly identify multiple astrophysical neutrino sources upon becoming operational. The experiment will incorporate rapid photosensors and extended waveform readout electronics within a hybrid digital optical module (hDOM). This innovative design aims to notably enhance the angular resolution for high-energy neutrinos and the sensitivity across all neutrino flavors. When fully operational, the TRIDENT array will encompass approximately 1000 strings, monitoring a volume of around 7.5 km3. This will result in marked improvements in angular resolution for high-energy neutrinos and increased sensitivity for all neutrino flavors. Successfully candidate is expected to take leading role in the electronics system of the TRIDENT experiment, and will collaborate closely with other physicists and engineers at TRIDENT in all activities including project reviews and system tests.
Required Qualifications
Master’s degree (or equivalent) in electrical engineering, computer science, or physics at the time of appointment
Expertise in analog and digital circuit design, schematic and PCB layout (familiar with tools such as KiCAD, Allegro, Altium)
Knowledgeable in an electronics firmware language (preferably Verilog or VHDL with modern tool sets: Vivado Quartus, or similar)
Proficiency in software development (C++ and python)
Embedded microprocessor/microcontroller system design and programming
Preferred Qualifications
Master’s Degree or equivalent experience
Experience with high speed optical links
Experience working in an institution of higher education
Experience in working with experimental physics projects
Familiarity with trigger and data acquisition systems
The initial appointment for this position is for three years, candidates who pass the performance evaluation and meet the university’s promotion criteria may apply for the position of Senior Engineer (Associate Senior Level). A competitive salary is offered, benefits are in line with those of faculty and staff at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. We welcome candidates of all nationalities to apply for the position. TDLI advocates for an international environment, with English as the primary working language.
The position is open immediately and will remain open until filled.
If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to ask.

The particle experimental group in the Particle and Nuclear Division of the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) [http://tdli.sjtu.edu.cn/EN/] invites applications for Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in the areas of experimental particle physics.
Presently, the TDLI particle and nuclear physics division has two main experimental groups focusing on the following areas:
Underground Experimental Group: 1. Dark Matter Direct Detection and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (PandaX) 2. Cosmic Neutrino Experiment (TRIDENT, JUNO, IceCube) 3. Reactor Neutrino Experiment (JUNO) Faculty members involved are Profs. Donglian Xu, Jianglai Liu, Hualin Mei and Xin Xiang.
Accelerator-based Experimental Group: 1. LHC-ATLAS Physics and Detector Upgrade 2. CEPC Physics and Detector R&D 3. Fundamental and Applied Muon Science (Muon g-2, muEDM, SHINE Muon Source, Shanghai Muography) 4. Light Dark Matter Search Experiment (DarkSHINE) 5. Advanced Accelerator Study
Faculty members involved are Profs. Kim Siang Khaw, Shu Li, Kun Liu, Dao Xiang, Haijun Yang.
The initial appointment is for 2+1 years, starting from the Fall of 2025, and a further 3-year appointment is also possible on mutual agreement. The TDLI offers a competitive salary (comparable to same-level positions in USA). Exceptional candidates will be considered for the TDLI Post-doctoral Fellowships, which can also provide 100,000 CNY in start-up funds. All post-docs will be supported to apply for external research funding.
Applications should be submitted through the Academic Jobs Online system and must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae including information on the date of birth and date of receiving the Ph.D. degree, research statement, publication list, and at least three reference letters. Review starts from 2025/01/10 till positions are filled.
TDLI has an internationalized environment with English as its working language and invites candidates of all nationalities. The TDLI seeks to promote equal opportunity and diversity in physics. Members of under-represented groups in physics are particularly encouraged to apply.
For inquiries about the position and TDLI, please contact Ms. Zi Yang (hep.tdli@sjtu.edu.cn). For details about research projects, please contact Prof. Hualin Mei (mei.hualin@sjtu.edu.cn) for the Underground Experimental group and Prof. Kun Liu (kun.liu@sjtu.edu.cn) for the Accelerator-based Experimental group. You can also approach any of the faculty members for inquiries. Research at TDLI is closely connected with the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (INPAC) at SJTU (http://inpac.physics.sjtu.edu.cn/en/), where more postdoc positions in these areas are available.

The theory group in the Particle and Nuclear Division of the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) [http://tdli.sjtu.edu.cn] invites applications for Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in theoretical particle and nuclear physics and cosmology. Current research areas in the group include physics beyond the Standard Model, neutrino and flavor physics theory and phenomenology, early universe quantum field theory and applications to baryogenesis and dark matter, quantum chromodynamics and lattice gauge theory, effective field theory, and nuclear astrophysics.
Group members include Profs. Jason Evans, Shao-Feng Ge, Sophia Han, Hong-Jian He, Xiao-Gang He, Yuichiro Nakai, Michael Ramsey-Musolf, Luca Visinelli, and Frank Wilczek; and roughly 20 post-docs and Ph.D. students. The group interacts closely with TDLI and SJTU colleagues leading efforts in experimental searches for dark matter (PandaX); tests of neutrino properties (Daya Bay, JUNO, PandaX-III for neutrinoless double beta decay, and IceCube); precision tests (muon g-2); studies of high energy collisions at the LHC (ATLAS) and prospective future colliders (CEPC/SppC); and related theoretical efforts.
