A Postdoc position is available supported by US-ATLAS and the California State University (CSU) ATLAS group. The successful applicant would spend half their time on physics analysis with the CSU ATLAS group (under supervision of Kathryn Grimm, CSU East Bay) and half their time leading ATLAS and US-ATLAS software tutorial efforts.  

 

The California State University ATLAS cluster group includes CSU East Bay, CSU Sacramento, CSU Fresno and CSU Stanislaus. Students in the group are primarily undergraduates. The group is currently active in Di-Higgs searches, particularly in the bb-tautau final state. The postdoc would be expected to take a lead role in analysis and also to help in mentorship of undergraduate researchers. 

 

The candidate would be expected to organize tutorials for US-ATLAS Tier 3 computing and to improve and expand online documentation that supports ATLAS analysis efforts. This includes developing tutorials and relevant materials and ensuring that all documentation for tutorials is up-to-date and easy-to-follow for new students. Development of specific workshops to take place within the US and/or using US shared computing facilities may also be encouraged. Applicants with particular interest in software, reconstruction or physics analysis tools are encouraged to apply.

 

The position is based either in Hayward, CA, at CSU East Bay, or at CERN, with travel to the US.

 

Inquiries related to this opening should be sent to kgrimm@cern.ch, viviana.cavaliere@cern.ch, and Michael.Hance@cern.ch.

 

Applications, including a CV, a publication list and a short statement of research interest, should be sent to kgrimm@cern.ch. The candidate should also arrange to have two letters of recommendation sent directly to kgrimm@cern.ch.
