Job description:
Research Assistant/Associate in High Energy Physics
Imperial College London, High Energy Physics Group, Department of Physics
Salary range: Research Assistant: £29,800 - £32,970 per annum
Research Associate: £33,860 - £42,830 per annum
CERN / South Kensington Campus
Fixed Term: 2 years in the first instance, available from 1st April 2016, with the possibility of extension
The High Energy Physics Group at Imperial College London invites applications for a Research Assistant/Associate to work on upgrades to the CMS experiment at the LHC.
The Imperial College group has major detector responsibilities in the tracking and trigger systems of CMS, as well as playing important roles in data analysis, particularly focusing on SUSY, Higgs and tau studies and has long standing interests in upgrades to the Tracker and Level 1 calorimeter trigger, with substantial ongoing efforts developing new electronics, detector modules and readout systems. This post will contribute significantly to these activities, especially online software and data acquisition, and have an interest in future physics exploitation.
A Research Associate will have, and Research Assistant will be about to submit, a PhD in experimental particle physics or have equivalent professional qualifications and experience. Experience of working on an LHC experiment, with High Energy Physics data analysis, and good problem solving skills are essential. A good knowledge of programming with C++ and experience with online software and data acquisition computing systems are essential. Experience of working in the Grid environment and some knowledge of VHDL are desirable. Experience of working with postgraduate or advanced undergraduate students and experience of working in an international collaborative environment with extension simulation requirements are desirable.
Further details on the post may be obtained from Prof G Hall (g.hall@imperial.ac.uk). The post is intended to be based in CERN in Geneva but might be located in London by negotiation. If resident at Imperial, appropriate participation in the Department's teaching activities is encouraged.
The Imperial College London High Energy Physics group has a strong experimental programme with teams also participating in the LHCb experiment at CERN, and the T2K experiment in Japan. The group is also involved in research and development for SuperNEMO, LISA, LUX-ZEPLIN, COMET, detectors for future experiments as well as an active accelerator programme.
