The candidate will work on topics related to precision measurements in the electroweak sector of the Standard Model or/and in searches for di-Higgs production, both involving data from the on-going Run-3.  

Eligibility : We expect the PostDoc candidate to hold a recent (or to be about to receive) PhD in High Energy Physics and have experience in HEP data analysis workflow (MC generation, reconstruction etc.), including modern programming languages like Python and C++. Good knowledge of English and communication skills are necessary for interaction with a dynamic and multi-national analysis team. It is also required from the candidate to have one or more publications in the area. 

More Information : The ATLAS group in São Paulo is taking part in several precision measurements in the Electroweak sector of the SM, involving both neutral and charged-current Drell-Yan production, as well as in searches for Higgs pair production in the bbtautau channel. These activities are now gearing-up to explore the larger Run-3 dataset and the perspectives of the upcoming HL-LHC, and it is expected from the candidate to take a leading role in these analyses. The group is also active in the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter and in the High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) for ATLAS HL-LHC Phase-II upgrade, giving the candidate the opportunity to acquire experience and contribute in several areas of the ATLAS Experiment. While the grant is initially for two years, an extension for up to two more years can be requested to the funding agency (subjected to approval). It is also expected from the candidate a stay of up to one year at CERN, supported by this grant. Additional resources for conference travels are also contemplated. This grant is part of a large 5-year LHC Thematic Grant by the São Paulo Funding Agency (FAPESP - 2020/04867-2) More information on the FAPESP postdoc grants and conditions can be found here: https://fapesp.br/en/postdoc . 

To apply, please send i) your CV; ii) a research statement; iii) three recommendation letters; iv) in case you have already defended your PhD, please send a PDF copy or the public link of your thesis . This position will remain open until filled.
