What are the responsibilities and job description for the Post Doc Research Associate position at Purdue Department of Anthropology?
Job Description
Job Summary
The High Energy Physics Group at Purdue University has an opening for an outstanding, passionate and driven postdoctoral research associate to work on the CMS experiment, and detector R&D for future colliders.
The Purdue CMS group has extensive involvement in many aspects of CMS, including detector operations, upgrade, software, and physics analysis. The group is deeply involved in detector upgrade projects using a center of excellence for composite manufacturing and simulation for detector support mechanics and cooling, as well as an in-house facility to design, develop and build silicon detectors. At Purdue we also operate a Tier-2 computer center, providing resources for data analysis both locally and as part of the CMS computing Grid.
The position offers exciting possibilities in the analysis of the new 13.6 TeV collision data towards quantum tomography of top quarks. The selected candidate will work in this exciting new area of top quark physics, coupled into precision measurements to search for new physics. The successful candidate is expected to take on a leadership role in the physics analysis efforts within the top group. The candidate has ample opportunity to have a substantial involvement in the ongoing R&D efforts related to HL-LHC upgrades, and more importantly, towards future colliders. Cutting-edge machine learning developments for classical and quantum computational platforms are pursued in the group to benefit particle physics and beyond.
Experience
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. Prior experience with CMS will be weighted preferably and existing experience with silicon detectors is an advantage.
Application Process
The position is available starting 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. Salary range: $55,000 - $60,000 depending on the experience. The position will be based in West Lafayette, IN, although travel to CERN and to the LHC Physics Center at Fermilab is expected for a number of short trips per year and/or extended periods of time, e.g. for CMS detector operations.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a description of research interests (2 pages), and three letters of recommendation. Complete applications will be considered immediately. For information about the position, please contact Prof. Andreas Jung (anjung@purdue.edu).
Purdue University is an Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer. Applications from minority and female candidates are encouraged.
Contact: Jung, Andreas (anjung@purdue.edu)
Letters of Reference should be sent to: anjung@purdue.edu
