Starting date: as early as 01/03/2022

Work quota: Full time

Level of education: PhD in particle physics

Experience required: Less than 2 years after graduation

The ATLAS group at the Laboratoire de physique nucléaire et de hautes énergies (LPNHE) in Paris, France, invites you to apply for a postdoctoral position in experimental particle physics. The successful candidate will spend their time as a member of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider as well as the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee). This position is to be based in Paris. 

The LPNHE is a laboratory of the IN2P3 (Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique de Particules), a CNRS institute, and of the universities « Sorbonne Université » and « Université Paris Diderot Sorbonne Paris Cité ». The laboratory, located in Paris (France), is involved in major particle physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology international collaborations. 

In this position you will:

* Take a leading role in ATLAS Run II and III analyses related to jet measurements, jet substructure and tagging

* Collaborate with members of the FCC-ee community to extend these jet studies 

* Publish research findings in journals and present at conferences 

* Mentor students at the undergraduate and graduate level

For this position you need:

*A PhD in particle physics, astroparticle physics or related discipline, less than two years after graduation 

* Experience in high-energy physics data analysis

* To be proficient with computer programming in C++ and python

* To be able to communicate effectively through documents and presentations 

* Fluency in English

* Demonstrated ability to tackle new problems and an eagerness to work collaboratively 

* To be committed to do your part to create an inclusive working environment

 

The position is for a fixed term of 3 years, and is based at Paris, with frequent trips to CERN (COVID permitted). The ideal starting date for the position is in March 2021. The deadline to submit the application materials is December 20th 2021). Our group is committed to the principles of equity and inclusion. We welcome and encourage applications from anyone who meets the specific criteria of the post from the broadest spectrum of backgrounds.

Candidates are invited to send their complete application package (CV, cover letter and statement of research interests, list of publications) to bogdan.malaescu@cern.ch, and to arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent directly to the same address. 

No specific risks are foreseen for this position.

The position is funded by the LEAP-physics, the Lund Jet Plane for Precision physics, project via the ANR funding scheme.
