Job description:
The Theoretical Particle Physics group (http://particle.thep.lu.se/)
at the Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics at
Lund University, Lund, Sweden, has openings for three fully funded
PhD student positions, with emphasis on event generator development.
The successful applicants will work on some of the research topics
pursued by the senior members of the group within the framework of
the EU funded network MCnet (http://www.montecarlonet.org).
The topics involve phenomenological studies of the Standard Model
and beyond, concentrating on computer modeling of processes that can
be studied experimentally eg. at the LHC.
The Lund group has here been very successful, with the PYTHIA event
generator in heavy use by all LHC experiments, and other generators
such as Dipsy pioneering new approaches to understand high-energy
collisions. Likely projects for the future include further developments
of minimum-bias physics in pp collisions, improved extensions to and
new aspects of pA and AA heavy-ion collisions, and improved matching
and merging between matrix elements and parton showers. The focus may
shift as new topics of interest appear; particle physics is a dynamical
field and results e.g. from the LHC collider may inspire new research
projects.
According to the mobility rules of the Marie Curie Initial Training
Networks, the candidate must not have resided, worked or studied in
Sweden for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to
her/his recruitment. Previous courses and project work in particle
physics is an advantage. Experience with scientific programming in a
Unix/Linux environment is also a merit, especially familiarity with C++.
