Job description:
The experimental particle physics group at Stockholm University invites applications to a PhD position to work in the ATLAS experiment at CERNLarge Hadron Collider, LHC. The main task for the applicant will be to analyse the data collected by the ATLAS experiment. In addition, work related to calibration and detector maintenance is expected.
In July 2012, CERN announced the discovery of the long-sought Higgs boson, and the LHC has since then undergone an upgrade to increase the collision energy from 8 to 13 TeV. With more data from the LHC, scientists are hoping to answer open questions in modern physics, e.g. why the Higgs boson mass is lower than what is predicted by many theoretical models, what the dark matter is made of and why the universe is not composed of matter and anti-matter in equal amounts.
The ATLAS group at Stockholm University has been active in the construction, commissioning and calibration of several ATLAS detector components: the Tile Calorimeter and the First Level Trigger system and continues to carry responsibilities in these areas. The group is also involved in several combined performance groups, e.g. the flavour tagging group. The group currently consists of 7 faculty members, 2 post-docs and 8 PhD students. Our main research topics are searches for supersymmetry, dark matter, extra dimensions and leptoquarks, as well as in precision measurements of the top quark. For more information, see:http://bub.fysik.su.se/ and http://www.atlas.ch/
The particle physics group at Stockholm University is also part of the Oskar Klein Centre for Cosmoparticle Physics, where research aimed at answering fundamental questions about the universe, such as dark matter, is performed. For more information, please see:http://okc.albanova.se/
