Job description:
The High Energy Physics Group at Purdue University has an immediate opening for a Postdoc position with a strong commitment to the development of silicon detectors. The candidate is expected to lead the efforts in the in-house facilities for micro-electronics assembly and characterization (the Purdue Silicon Detector Laboratory, PSDL). The group is one of the two production centers for the silicon pixel module construction of the phase-1 upgrade of the CMS Forward Pixel Detector. The main activity for the coming years are related to the R&D efforts towards the upgrade of the CMS Forward Pixel Detector due to the high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC machine. The candidate is expected to lead the phase II efforts of the PSDL in terms of R&D and future silicon pixel module construction. A potential transition into an engineering physicist position is possible, more details and further inquiries on the job duties and possibilities can be made to Prof. Andreas Jung (anjung@purdue.edu).
The Purdue CMS group has extensive involvement in many aspects of CMS, including hardware, software, and physics analysis. We are also pursuing an exciting physics program at the 13 TeV energy regime at the LHC and the current physics analysis activities of the group include measurements of Standard Model processes in particular in the top quark sector, the search for new heavy gauge bosons and the study of the Higgs boson.
The successful candidate is expected to play a key role in the R&D effort and the future construction and commissioning of the phase-2 upgrade of the CMS Forward Pixel Detector. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics with wide experience and knowledge in the field of silicon detectors. Good data analysis, computing and programming skills are vital to the success of the phase II project. The location for the position is located at Purdue University, West Lafayette campus, with potential travel to Fermilab and CERN as the phase II project requires.
The position is available February 1st, 2017 and applications will be considered until the position is filled, but to ensure full consideration, candidates should apply by January 4, 2017. The appointment is initially for one year and renewable annually, subject to mutual satisfaction and available funding. Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a one page summary of detector R&D efforts and future directions, as well as arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to: Prof. Andreas Jung (anjung@purdue.edu).
Purdue University is an Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer. Applications from minority and female candidates are encouraged.
Contact: Prof. Matthew Jones and Prof. Andreas Jung

Letters of Reference should be sent to: anjung@purdue.edu
