Postdoctoral position in STAR experiment

    • CTU, Prague
    •
    • Europe
  • hep-ex
Deadline on Aug 31, 2023
Job description:
A primary goal of the STAR physics program is to study the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma, a novel state of QCD matter consisting of deconfined quarks and gluons. Due to large masses, heavy flavor quarks are produced in initial phases of heavy ion collision. STAR experiment will collect in 2023 largest data sample of data so far that allow for very precise measurement of heavy flavor hadrons.
The candidate will employ machine learning techniques to measure production of heavy flavor mesons in these data in order to understand energy loss of heavy quarks in hot and dense nuclear matter. The candidate will work in group of Doc. Mgr. Jaroslav Bielčík, Ph.D.
Expected skills:
  • Data analysis in high-energy physics experiments
  • Excellent knowledge of C++
  • Experiences with application of machine learning techniques in data analysis

Additional Information:
Start date: October 1st, 2023
Salary: CZK 65 000 per month (brutto)
Selection process:
