Postdoctoral Research Associate position on the ATLAS Experiment at
the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
A postdoc position is available supported by California State
University East Bay, and US-ATLAS.
The successful applicant would spend half their time on physics
analysis with the Cal State East Bay ATLAS group and half time as a leader
of the ATLAS software tutorial efforts. Cal State East Bay is a member
of the California State University ATLAS cluster group and is currently
active in Di-Higgs searches in the bb-tautau final state.
Within the group the postdoc would be expected to take a
lead role in analysis and also to help in mentorship of undergraduate
researchers, particularly in the summer months.
The candidate is expected to organize and coordinate ATLAS software
tutorials that take place at CERN on a regular basis, including the
development of tutorials and relevant materials, and will ensure that
all documentation for these events is up-to-date and easy-to-follow
for new students. These tutorials are likely to be expanded in the
future, and the candidate is expected to play a leading role in these
efforts. Development of specific workshops to take place within the US
and/or using US shared computing facilities may also be encouraged.
Applicants with particular interest in software, reconstruction or
physics analysis tools are encouraged to apply.
The position will be based at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland.
Inquiries related to this opening should be sent to
kathryn.grimm@csueastbay.edu, vimartin@umass.edu, and
jahred.adelman@niu.edu. Applications should include a CV, a
publication list and a short statement of research interest. The
candidate should also provide the names of three referees who could be
contacted for letters of recommendation.
Review of applications will begin on 8 Feb 2019. Later applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
