Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:CERN-LHC-LHCb
Deadline: 2018-04-22
Region: Europe
Job description:
The Heidelberg LHCb group has a wide range of analysis interests
and is involved in numerous analysis in the area of mixing and
CP violation, electroweak penguin decays, analysis of semileptonic
decays and charm physics. Complementing these topics, a new team
on spectroscopy of exotic hadrons is currently being built up.
The Heidelberg group has taken a leading role in the design,
the construction and the management of the forward tracking system
for the upgrade. The detector is based on scintillating fibres,
which are read out by silicon photo-multipliers. In addition the
group works on the tracking software for the upgraded detector and
develops filter algorithms for the high-level trigger. As a spin-off
of these activities, we are in parallel developing a scintillating
fibre based beam monitor in close cooperation with the Heidelberg
Ion Therapy Center.
We are seeking PhD candidates to strengthen our analysis activities
in the area of time dependent CP violation, electroweak penguins,
hadron spectroscopy and searches for Dark Matter. Furthermore,
successful applicants have the possibility to make significant
contributions to either our software activities in pattern
recognition or to our hardware activities for the LHCb scintillating
fiber tracker or the beam monitor project.
These positions are embedded within a structured doctoral programme as
part of one of the two Research Training Groups of the German Research
Foundation (DFG) "Particle Physics Beyond the Standard Model",
"High Rate and High Resolution Detectors in Nuclear and Particle Physics".
Applicants must have a master degree in experimental particle physics
or in a related field with relevant experience. Applications
including CV, a research statement and two letter of references should
be sent to
Prof. Stephanie Hansmann-Menzemer
menzemer@physi.uni-heidelberg.de
Prof. Ulrich Uwer
uwer@physi.uni-heidelberg.de
Dr. Blake Leverington
leverington@physi.uni-heidelberg.de
Dr. Sebastian Neubert
neubert@physi.uni-heidelberg.de
Applications are considered until the positions are filled.
Those which are received before 22nd of April 2018 get our full attention.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Heidelberg University is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes
applications from women. Handicapped applicants will be preferentially
treated, if equally qualified.
