The Experimental High-Energy Physics group at Northeastern University in Boston has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research associate to work on the CMS experiment at CERN.

The Northeastern CMS group has leading involvements in the operation and upgrades of the electromagnetic calorimeter and endcap muon systems, and the development of the Level-1 Track Trigger. Physics efforts include searches for beyond Standard Model phenomena, Higgs boson studies, and precision electroweak and top quark measurements. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the CMS Level-1 Track Trigger system for the HL-LHC upgrade, as well as to take a leading role in physics data analysis. The candidate will also have the opportunity to work with PhD and undergraduate students.

Applications, including a CV with publication list, a statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation, should be sent directly to Prof. Louise Skinnari at: l.skinnari@northeastern.edu

The review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until the position is filled. Full consideration will be given to applications submitted by May 31, 2019. A PhD in experimental high-energy physics by the time of the appointment is required. Candidates should have a strong record of recent accomplishments in data analysis; experience with detector R&D or electronics is a plus. For further details about the position, please contact Prof. Skinnari.
