Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:CERN-LHC-CMS
Deadline: 2017-08-15
Region: North America
Job description:
The University of Colorado high energy physics group has an available position for a postdoctoral research associate to work on the CMS experiment. The CU faculty involved in CMS are John Cumalat, Bill Ford, Kevin Stenson, Keith Ulmer (starting September 2017), and Steve Wagner. The group currently participates in tracker operations (including Phase 1 pixel detector commissioning), track reconstruction development, and a variety of physics analyses including searches for supersymmetry in multijet final states, searches for new physics utilizing boosted Higgs signatures, and measurements of rare Z decays. The group is currently involved in Phase 2 upgrade work on track reconstruction and pixel sensor and electronics R&D and is beginning work on aspects of the Phase 2 Level 1 trigger upgrade related to charged particle tracking.
The candidate will be expected to play a leading role in the group's activities on the Phase 2 Level 1 trigger upgrade, as well as data analysis related to searches for physics beyond the standard model. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in particle physics or a closely related field. Review of applications will begin on July 15 and will continue until the position is filled. The University of Colorado is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer committed to assembling a diverse, broadly trained faculty and staff.
Applicants will need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references using the CU portal here: https://cu.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=09928
For inquiries about this position, please contact Kevin Stenson (kevin.stenson@colorado.edu) or Keith Ulmer (keith.ulmer@colorado.edu).
