The ATLAS group at CEA Paris-Saclay (Irfu/DPhP) is opening a two-year post-doc position to work on the ATLAS experiment. 

The CEA group has been involved in ATLAS since its origins, mainly in the design and construction of the liquid argon electromagnetic calorimeter and of the muon spectrometer. The group has expertise in detector and reconstruction aspects (calorimeter trigger, muon reconstruction, muon alignment, electron and photon calibration, b-tagging, database management, data preparation and luminosity) as well as in physics analysis (electroweak physics, top quark and Higgs boson physics). It also participates in several upgrades for the medium and long term detector improvements: the replacement of part of the endcap muon spectrometer chambers (New Small Wheel), the upgrade of the electromagnetic calorimeter trigger and the upgrade of the central inner tracker (ITk). 

The successful candidate is expected to contribute to construction, test and quality control of the pixel modules of ITk, in the framework of the Paris cluster (ie. in collaboration with the LPNHE and IJCLab ATLAS groups). A fraction of the time will also be devoted to contribute to the analysis of data collected during the LHC Run3, within the area of top-Higgs physics.

Highly qualified and motivated applicants should have a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics by the time of appointment. They should send, by September 27th 2021, a curriculum vitae that includes a description of the research experience, a list of publications, and a motivation letter. The applications should be sent via email to Frederic Deliot (frederic.deliot@cern.ch ). They should also arrange to have at least two letters of recommendation sent to the same email address.
