Field of Interest:hep-ex
Experiments:CERN-LHC-CMS
Deadline: 2016-04-01
Region: North America
Job description:
The High Energy Physics Group at Purdue University has an opening for a
postdoctoral research associate to work on the CMS experiment.
The Purdue CMS group has extensive involvement in many aspects of CMS,
including hardware, software, and physics analysis. We are pursuing an
exciting physics program at the 13 TeV energy regime at the LHC and the
current physics analysis activities of the group include measurements of
Standard Model processes, the search for new heavy gauge bosons and the
study of the Higgs boson. The group is actively engaged in all aspects of
triggering and reconstruction of muons with a physics focus on the
analysis of di-lepton final states. In addition, the group is involved in
detector upgrade projects using an in-house facility to design, develop
and build silicon detectors. At Purdue we operate a Tier-2 computer
center, providing resources for data analysis both locally and as part of
the CMS computing Grid.
The successful candidate is expected to take on a leadership role in CMS
Run 2 physics analyses in the areas of Higgs precision measurements
and/or searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. The candidate will
also contribute to our group’s efforts in the development of muon
reconstruction and High-Level trigger software. Candidates should have a
Ph.D. in experimental particle physics, excellent data analysis,
computing and programming skills and the ability to carry out an
independent research program. The position will be based either at
CERN or in West Lafayette, IN.
The position is available immediately and applications will be considered
until the position is filled. The appointment is
initially for one year and renewable annually, subject to mutual
satisfaction. Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae and
arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to: Prof. Norbert
Neumeister (neumeist@purdue.edu).
Purdue University is an Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer.
Applications from minority and female candidates are encouraged.
