Job description:
The High Energy Physics (HEP) group at Texas Tech University invites applications for two postdoctoral research associate positions in the CMS experiment. The TTU CMS group, led by Professors Akchurin, Kunori, Lee, and Volobouev, actively participates in data analyses, operations, and upgrades for the high luminosity LHC running period while maintaining a rigorous R&D program in advanced detector physics. Our CMS physics program includes beyond standard model searches and studies in multi-boson physics. We continue to maintain the CMS hadronic calorimeters (HCAL) that we helped develop, build, and commission over the last two decades.

Two Postdoctoral Positions for CMS Experiment at the LHC
Texas Tech University (TTU)
The High Energy Physics (HEP) group at Texas Tech University invites applications for two postdoctoral research associate positions in the CMS experiment. The TTU CMS group, led by Professors Akchurin, Kunori, Lee, and Volobouev, actively participates in data analyses, operations, and upgrades for the high luminosity LHC running period while maintaining a rigorous R&D program in advanced detector physics. Our CMS physics program includes beyond standard model searches and studies in multi-boson physics. We continue to maintain the CMS hadronic calorimeters (HCAL) that we helped develop, build, and commission over the last two decades.
The first successful candidate is expected to take a leading role in data analysis and also to make a substantial contribution toward the operation of the CMS HCAL in Run 2. The position may be based either at TTU or CERN, with requisite sojourns between the two locations. The renewable appointment is initially for two years.
The second successful candidate will primarily focus on development of the High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) for the Phase II upgrades. This position is based at TTU, with trips to Fermilab and CERN. The candidate will be a part of the collaboration between HEP and TTU’s Nanotech Center, a state-of-the-art research center in nanotechnology and growth of advanced semiconductor materials. The renewable appointment is also initially for two years.
Candidates must have a PhD in experimental high-energy physics and should submit a CV, list of publications to which the candidate has made significant contributions, brief statement of research interests, and the contact information of at least three references. Applications and queries should be sent to Prof. Sung-Won Lee, (sungwon.lee@ttu.edu, (806) 834-8188) at Department of Physics, Texas Tech University, Box 41051, Lubbock, TX 79409-1051. Submission of application materials in a single pdf file is preferred. Applications will be reviewed starting March 4, 2016 and continuing until the positions are filled.
Texas Tech University System and its components will not discriminate in its employment practices due to an applicant's race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or status as a protected veteran.
