Field of Interest:hep-ph
Deadline: 2017-07-15
Region: Europe
Job description:
The theory group of SUBATECH (Nantes, France) has an opening for a 3 year
PhD position.
The interpretation of the ultrarelativisitc heavy ion collision data collected at the CERN and RHIC
Collider is the center of interest of the high energy theory group at Subatech. We have developed in the recent years the event generator EPOS3 to study the soft physics as well as EPOS-HQ to study heavy quarks which traverse the plasma of quark and gluons, formed in these reactions. The goal of this approached is to develop a program which reproduces simultaneously the heavy as well as the light quark physics to reduce the uncertainties inherent in this approaches because the underlying theory of strong interactions, the Quantum-Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) can only solved in special cases.
In the last years we have extended our research to jet physics. The new thesis project inscribes in this extension. The successful candidate will study the interaction of the jets with the medium including coherence effects like the Landau-Pomeranschuk-Migdal effect. He will also have the task to embed these studies in the EPOS3 simulation program.
We expect from the candidate a solid background in theoretical physics, especially of the different aspects of QCD as well as basic knowledge in numerical physics.
The theory group of SUBATECH is composed of 13 permanent senior researchers (among them 7 oriented towards high energy physics), 1 postdoc and 4 PhD students. Further general information can be found on our website http://www-subatech.in2p3.fr.
Candidates should send a CV, a statement of their research interests and two letters of recommendation to the head of the theory group, Prof. P.B. Gossiaux (gossiaux@subatech.in2p3.fr, tel +33 2 51 85 84 32), to whom further information can be obtained.
Application will run until a suitable candidate is found.
