The LAPP (Laboratoire d’Annecy de Physique des Particules) laboratory (part of the IN2P3/CNRS institute) invites applications for a post-doctoral position to work on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The position will focus on the high-mass dilepton production processes (Drell-Yan scattering) in the dielectron, dimuon and ditau final states, and in particular their role in the effective-field theory (EFT) interpretations. These processes are related by crossing symmetry to b->sll and b->ctaunu transitions, in which “flavor anomalies” have been observed in recent years. The study of Drell-Yan processes at ATLAS may therefore contribute to the understanding of these seemingly coherent pattern of deviations with respect to Standard Model (SM) predictions.

This position is funded for a duration of 2 years by Labex ENIGMASS 2 network of excellence (http://enigmass.in2p3.fr/). Candidates should hold a doctoral degree in particle physics, obtained less than 2 years before the starting date of the position.

The position is based at LAPP, Annecy, France with the possibility to travel to CERN regularly (50 km from LAPP).

Applicants must apply on the CNRS Job Portal https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres.aspx:

Selection will be started immediately, until the position is filled. The position could start as early as the 1st of May 2022 and definitely in 2022.
