Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:CERN-LHC-CMS
Deadline: 2017-07-10
Region: Europe
Job description:
The Interuniversity Institute for High Energies (IIHE) in Brussels (http://www.iihe.ac.be/) combines the experimental particle physics and astroparticle physics research groups from the two Brussels universities VUB and ULB. The IIHE is currently involved in frontier research in large international collaborations: CMS, IceCube, SoLiD, and in R&D in data acquisition systems and electronics. In the last years also a strongly-connected in-house phenomenology group has been established (http://we.vub.ac.be/en/HEPVUB). The working language is English.
The CMS team in Brussels consists of about 50 physicists and support staff. Within CMS, the IIHE group is leading numerous physics analyses and object reconstruction efforts. A CMS Grid Tier2 computing center provides ample analysis resources. On the detector side, current activities in the silicon strip tracker were recently expanded towards the CMS phase-II upgrades. Members of our team observe and have observed several coordinating roles in the experiment. The group has an opening for a PhD student with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
We are seeking an outstanding candidate who has obtained, or is about to obtain, a Master of physics diploma or equivalent. A position with a standard duration of four years is available. Some travel will be expected to attend collaboration meetings, schools, and conferences.
We are currently forming a new team in Brussels under the umbrella "Precise top quark physics at the LHC in the search for Dark Matter particles", grown from our expert involvement in eg. b- and c-tagging, rare top decays, 4-top searches, dark matter pheno connections and searches, etc. The successful candidate will be expected to engage in the LHC Run-II data analysis at this interface between dark matter and top physics.
The position is open to candidates of any nationality. The review of applications will begin on July 10. Applicants should send their curriculum vitae, including a statement of research interests, to the addresses below of Profs. Jorgen D'Hondt, Freya Blekman, and Steven Lowette. Applicants should also arrange at least two letters of recommendation to be sent to the same addresses.
For more information, please contact Profs. Jorgen D'Hondt, Freya Blekman, or Steven Lowette at the following coordinates: Jorgen.DHondt@cern.ch, Freya.Blekman@cern.chSteven.Lowette@cern.ch
