A Postdoc position is available supported by California State University, East Bay, and US-ATLAS.   

The successful applicant would spend half their time on physics analysis with the CSU East Bay ATLAS group and half time leading ATLAS and US-ATLAS software tutorial efforts.  

 

California State University, East Bay is a member of the California State University ATLAS cluster group and is currently active in Di-Higgs searches in the bb-tautau final state. Within the group the postdoc would be expected to take a lead role in analysis and also to help in mentorship of undergraduate researchers, particularly in the summer months. 

 

The candidate would be expected to organize tutorials for US-ATLAS Tier 3 computing and to improve and expand online documentation that supports ATLAS analysis efforts. This includes developing tutorials and relevant materials and ensuring that all documentation for tutorials is up-to-date and easy-to-follow for new students. Development of specific workshops to take place within the US and/or using US shared computing facilities may also be encouraged. Applicants with particular interest in software, reconstruction or physics analysis tools are encouraged to apply.

 

The position is based at Cal State East Bay, but there is the possibility to be located at CERN with travel to the US.

 

Inquiries related to this opening should be sent to kathryn.grimm@csueastbay.edu, vimartin@umass.edu, and Michael.Hance@cern.ch. Applications should include a CV, a publication list and a short statement of research interest. The candidate should also provide the names of three referees who could be contacted for letters of recommendation.  

 

California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) serves the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley. It has a diverse student body of approximately 15,000, as well as 900 faculty members. The Department of Physics offers a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree.
