Job description:
Research Assistant/Associate in High Energy Physics
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
South Kensington Campus with some international travel
Fixed Term: 2 years available from 1st May 2016 or as soon as possible thereafter
The High Energy Physics Group at Imperial College London invites applications for a Research Assistant/Associate to work on the LHCb experiment at the LHC.
The aim of LHCb is to discover physics beyond the Standard Model through its influence on the decays of b-hadrons produced at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The Imperial LHCb group is driving many physics analyses, such as new physics studies in rare di-lepton decays, the search for lepton non-universality in semileptonic decays and the measurement of deuteron cross sections to support dark matter searches. The group is involved in the maintenance, operation and upgrade of the RICH detector and in the core software of the experiment. The main focus of the post is data analysis with a smaller involvement in the development of the software for distributed computing. You will contribute to the Department's teaching activities up to approximately half a day per week during the academic year, as appropriate.
The 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.
Other essential criteria for the post are:
- A strong research record with clearly defined individual
contributions.
- Data analysis experience and highly developed computing-related
problem solving skills that can be applied to analysis in High Energy
Physics.
- Evidence of ability to identify new research opportunities or develop
new techniques.
- Experience in forming positive relationships with students to help
them develop their research skills and independence.
- Ability to take on responsibilities in an independent manner.
- A proven ability to communicate with people at all levels.
In addition desirable criteria are:
- Evidence of ability to write high quality research papers.
- Evidence of contributions to collaboratively developed software using
a well-defined development and testing cycle.
The post will be based in London and involve travel to other places.
Further details about the post are available from Prof. U .Egede, Professor of Physics, (u.egede@imperial.ac.uk).
The Imperial College London High Energy Physics group has a strong experimental programme with teams 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. Further details may be found at: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/highenergyphysics
Imperial Managers lead by example.
Committed to equality and valuing diversity. We are also an Athena SWAN Silver Award winner, a Stonewall Diversity Champion, a Two Ticks Employer and are working in partnership with GIRES to promote respect for trans people. The Department of Physics is also an IoP JUNO Champion and an Athena Silver SWAN Award winner.
Closing Date: 4 April 2016 (midnight BST)
