The particle physics group at Laboratoire des 2 Infinis – Toulouse (L2IT) invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to join our group working on the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC.

 

L2IT is a new laboratory that was established on January 1st, 2020. It is jointly operated by CNRS/IN2P3 and by Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier. The L2IT particle physics group is contributing to the reconstruction software of the new inner tracker (ITk) that ATLAS will install for the HL-LHC phase, and to Higgs physics analysis, in particular studies of di-Higgs production. Our contributions are focused on modern algorithms and data analysis techniques. The successful candidate will be expected to make significant contributions to both our ITk and Higgs physics programmes. He or she will be expected to work in close collaboration with our team of senior and junior physicists and a PhD student, with the experts in our algorithms group, as well as with computing scientists in other institutes on campus.

 

The position is for two years, starting on October 1st 2020. It is based in Toulouse, with the possibility to travel to CERN as needed.

 

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics at the time of the appointment, obtained no more than two years ago. Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, a publication list and a statement of their research interests, and should arrange to have three letters of reference submitted on their behalf.

 

Application materials and inquiries should be sent to Jan Stark <jan.stark@l2it.in2p3.fr>. The position will remain open until filled. To receive full consideration, applications should be submitted by June 29th, 2020.
