The Collaborative Innovation Center for Particles and Interactions (CICPI) at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) invites applications for a postdoctoral position for the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The particle physics laboratory at USTC is a leading research center in China. The USTC CMS Group has a strong focus on Higgs boson physics including searches for the diHiggs production and search for the Higgs boson decaying to a pair of muons.

The candidate should have a Ph.D. (or expected soon) in experimental particle physics. The candidate should have excellent data analysis skills and/or good experience in particle detector instrumentation, and the ability to carry out an independent research program. The successful candidate is expected to play a key role in physics analysis and will also have opportunities to work on the Endcap Timing Layer of the MIP Timing Detector in the CMS Phase-2 Upgrade. The initial term of the position is two years with a possible extension. The successful applicant could be based at CERN, USTC or a combination of both depending on project need and personal circumstance.

Applications should be submitted by July 31st, 2023. Applications are being reviewed as we receive them. The position will remain open until filled. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae with a list of publications included, a statement of research interests, and arrange for three letters of reference to be submitted by the reference writers via email to Prof. Nan Lu (nanlu@ustc.edu.cn)

Inquiries about the position are welcome and should be sent to the same email address above.
