Job description:
The experimental high-energy physics group at Simon Fraser University (hep.phys.sfu.ca) currently consists of 3 faculty members: Dugan O'Neil, Bernd Stelzer and Mike Vetterli, 3 postdocs and 7 graduate students involved in the ATLAS experiment at CERN (atlas.cern.ch). It is of note that we are in the process of hiring a new faculty member. The group has strong ties to TRIUMF (Canada's national subatomic physics laboratory) and other local HEP groups in Vancouver. We invite applications for one or two post-doctoral fellow / research associate positions with a focus on analyzing data from the ATLAS experiment. These positions can be based either at CERN or SFU (Vancouver), although at least one will be in Vancouver.
We have several physics interests within our ATLAS group, including: Higgs physics (e.g. Higgs to tau and Higgs to WW), searches for new resonances, top physics and quark compositeness. The successful candidate would be expected to play a strong role in data analysis at ATLAS. Another important aspect is service to the experiment. The SFU group has taken leading roles in ATLAS in-situ jet calibration, tau software, and the ATLAS New Inner Tracker upgrade (ITk). Our group has also taken a leading role in the development of Canada's contribution to ATLAS computing. The SFU group has access to significant computing resources at SFU through Cedar and a dedicated local cluster, and has been leading the Canadian Tier-1 center at TRIUMF/SFU. Finally, the successful candidate will be expected to participate in supervision of graduate students.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in high-energy physics. The initial appointment will be for 1 year year but will be renewable upon mutual agreement for 2 additional years. Salary will be competitive and will depend on experience.
When submitting your application, please include a detailed CV and a research statement and send it to: sfu-atlas-postdoc@sfu.ca Candidates should arrange for 3 letters of reference. The position is available immediately. Applications received after Dec 10th, 2018, may not receive full consideration. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.
