Position Description
We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in experimental particle physics, focusing on research
within the CMS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.
The CMS groups at UZH are actively involved in
data analysis, software development, and detector operations. Our
research interests include precision studies of the Standard Model and
direct searches for physics beyond it. In addition,
we are engaged in upgrading the CMS pixel detector for the Phase-II
High Luminosity LHC program.
The position is initially limited to three years,
with the possibility of extension. Applicants must hold a PhD in
physics (obtained within the past eight years) and have substantial
experience in experimental particle physics. Strong
software development skills and demonstrated experience with machine
learning techniques are highly desirable.
Applicants should submit a cover letter,
curriculum vitae, research statement, and publication list and arrange
three letters of reference to be uploaded on this site.
To ensure full consideration, all materials should be received by May 1, 2025. Complete applications will be reviewed immediately, and they will be considered until the position is filled.
