Experimental Physics - Student at DESY

Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:CERN-LHC-CMS
Deadline: 2016-07-01
Region: Europe

Job description:
The DESY experimental group and High Energy Physics Group at Imperial
College London invite applications for a PhD at Imperial College in
particle physics associated with the CMS experiment and phenomenology
interpretation of searches for New Physics at the LHC.
 
The PhD project is for a full time student who shares the time between
DESY (approximately 80%) and Imperial College London (approximately
20%). The project is part of a DESY-IC programme where the successful
candidate will obtain a PhD in Physics from Imperial College. The
successful candidate will be employed by DESY. The salary is according
to German standards.
 
DESY and Imperial College play a leading role in searches for New
Physics like supersymmetry and dark matter with CMS, and you will
contribute to the analysis of CMS data and to theoretical
interpretations in the context of extensions of the Standard Model such
as supersymmetry or simplified Dark Matter models.
 
You should have the necessary qualification to start a PhD in
experimental or theoretical particle physics at Imperial College London.
Good working knowledge of C++ is essential, expertise in applications of
ROOT and knowledge of extensions of the Standard Model and statistical
techniques for data analysis are desirable.
 
There will be regular travel to CERN & meetings elsewhere overseas.
 
Interested candidates are requested to submit a CV, copies of school and
university examinations and a statement of research interest to Oliver
Buchmueller < Oiver.Buchmueller@cern.ch > and Christian Schwanenberger <
christian.schwanenberger@cern.ch >.
