Job description:
Multiparticle correlations techniques are nowadays utilized regularly by all major collaborations worldwide which are analyzing high-energy nuclear collisions. Although widely used, very little is known about their statistical properties beyond their first moments. We therefore initiate the work which attempts to fill in this gap in the literature—the derivation of higher order moments and the derivation of the analytic expressions for the probability density functions (p.d.f.s) of multiparticle correlations (some pioneering results can be found in Refs. [1,2,3]). The outcome of this project will have a direct impact on the studies of collective anisotropic flow phenomenon at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and on multibody interactions between hyperons and nucleons inside the neutron stars. The position will be within the closely collaborating groups of Professor Laura Fabbietti which is actively involved in the ALICE experiment at the LHC.
Candidates are expected to hold a PhD degree in mathematical or theoretical physics (or comparable qualification) at the time of appointment. The knowledge of Mathematica and C++ programming language are advantage. Good communication skills (English) and readiness to travel to international conferences are mandatory. Applications from female scientists are encouraged and the position is open to candidates of any nationality.
Applications including a CV (containing a brief summary of previous research activities and a one-page letter of motivation), a copy of the PhD certificate, copies of the university scores, as well as two letters of recommendation should be sent to Dr. Ante Bilandzic ( ante.bilandzic@tum.de ).
The position will be located at the Physics Department of Technical University of Munich. The expected duration of the postdoc program is two years with the possibility of an extension, starting in January or February 2018. The salary is according to the German public service pay agreement (TV-L E13). This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 759257).
The application deadline: November 11, 2017.
