Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:CERN-LHC-CMS
Region: Europe
Job description:
The Institut de Physique Nucléaire de Lyon (IPNL), a joint laboratory of the French IN2P3/CNRS and the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher to work on the CMS experiment.
IPNL is a founding member of CMS and had a key role in the development, installation and commissioning of the electromagnetic calorimeter and tracking detectors as well as in the the commissioning of photons and tracks. The group has made significant contributions in the area of Higgs boson searches, in particular in the Higgs to two photons decay channel, and was an important contributor to the discovery of a Higgs boson in this channel. The group shares leadership with one other institute in the search for a second, lower-mass Higgs boson decaying to two photons. In addition, the group has made important contributions in the area of top quark physics, in particular in searches for resonances in top pair decays, and also holds important responsibilities in the CMS upgrade effort.
The successful candidate is expected to take a leading role in reinforcing the team`s physics analysis activities in the domain of Higgs boson physics, and in particular by contributing to the search for a 2nd lower-mass Higgs boson in the diphoton channel. He or she will be based at IPN Lyon but will be able to benefit from the laboratory`s geographical proximity to CERN and the group`s travel budget. The appointment will be for a a period of two years.
Applicants must have a doctoral degree in experimental particle physics at the time of appointment. Good communication skills are expected. Candidates should provide a statement of research interests highlighting relevant experience, a CV with list of publications, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to the addresses below. The review of applications will start immediately, and will continue until the position is filled. The appointment can begin at the earliest in June 2016 and at the latest on November 1, 2016.
For information and applications please contact Susan Gascon (smagascon@mail.cern.ch) and Morgan Lethuillier (morgan.lethuillier@cern.ch) as well as Roberto Chierici (roberto.chierici@cern.ch)
