Post-doc position on the ATLAS experiment at LPSC Grenoble, France
The ATLAS group at LPSC Grenoble invites applications for a post-doctoral position in the group.
The LPSC group has made significant contributions to the construction, commissioning and operation of the presampler of ATLAS calorimeter, and to the installation of the IBL. It now contributes to the upgrades of the calorimeter and pixel detectors. The group plays a leading role in searches for physics beyond the standard model.
A key part of the LHC programme is the measurement of the self-coupling of the Higgs boson, as this measurement is the only way to reconstruct the shape of the Higgs potential and to gain insight into the nature of the electroweak phase transition. This and other measurements require the large dataset which will be collected during the high-luminosity phase (HL-LHC). ATLAS needs to construct a new pixel detector to face the challenging conditions at the HL-LHC. Innovative designs using inclined sensors are proposed, and their performance and feasibility need to be proven in the next two to three years. The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role in the simulation and optimisation of the physics performance of layouts with inclined sensors. At the same time, the successful candidate will contribute to one of the ongoing analyses of ATLAS data at LPSC. This could be the search for new physics in final states with photons, the search for heavy particles decaying to (boosted) top quarks or initial studies of di-Higgs final states.
The position is for two years with a possible one year extension, and will start in October 2015. It is funded through a grant from the ENIGMASS Laboratory of Excellence. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Physics and research experience in experimental elementary particle physics. Applicants should send their CV, a brief statement of research interests, and arrange to have at least three letters of reference sent to Jan Stark (stark@in2p3.fr). Applications received by September 1st, 2015 will receive full consideration. The position will remain open until filled. Informal enquiries may be made to Johann Collot, Fabienne Ledroit or Jan Stark (collot@in2p3.fr, ledroit@lpsc.in2p3.fr, stark@in2p3.fr).
