=============================================

Application link: https://apply.interfolio.com/128800

Deadline: Oct 31, 2023

Contact: loukas_gouskos AT brown.edu 

Description

The experimental high energy physics group at Brown University has immediate availability for a postdoctoral research associate. The group is led by Profs. Barone, Cutts, Gouskos, Heintz, Landsberg, LeBlanc, and Roloff and plays leading roles in the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. We are pursuing an exciting physics program at the LHC, presently focused on Higgs boson physics, searches for new physics, including flavor anomalies, and top quark physics. Furthermore, our group has been at the forefront of developing AI-based algorithms for a wide range of topics. We are major contributors and hold institutional responsibilities for the operations of the silicon strip tracker, the hadron calorimeter, and the R&D of Phase 2 HL-LHC upgrades of the outer tracker and the endcap calorimeter of CMS. In addition, the group is also strongly involved in the R&D of future particle physics experiments, such as the Future Circular Collider (FCC).

We offer challenging opportunities associated with our responsibilities in CMS and exciting possibilities in the analysis of the discovery-quality data of LHC Run 2 and ongoing Run 3. The successful applicant is expected to take a leading role in CMS physics analyses and actively participate in our detector operations responsibilities, as well as the R&D for the CMS Phase 2 upgrade. Other potential activities include studies of the detector optimization and physics potential for the FCC-ee.

Qualifications
The candidates should have a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics (or expected to be obtained by the end of 2023) and have demonstrated excellence in high-energy physics research. Excellent skills in data analysis, computing and programming, and in the development and deployment of AI-based applications, are essential. 

Application Instructions
Interested candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, a statement of research interests, a list of publications, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation submitted online at http://apply.interfolio.com/128800. Applicants should state in their cover letter how, through their research approaches, teaching methodology and/or public engagement, they are prepared to advance Brown’s strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by October 31, 2023. The position will remain open until filled. The appointments are initially for one year and renewable annually, subject to mutual satisfaction. For inquiries, please contact Prof. Loukas Gouskos at loukas_gouskos AT brown.edu.

Brown University Physics Department seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce to maintain the excellence of the University and to offer our students richly varied disciplines, perspectives, viewpoints, and ways of knowing and learning.
