Postdoctoral position (f/m/d) – ATLAS data analysis
The Max-Planck-Institute for Physics is engaged in fundamental research in particle and astroparticle physics from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. One main research activity is the participation in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
We invite applications for a postdoctoral position (f/m/d) in experimental particle physics to work on the Higgs data analysis within our ATLAS Muon Group. The long-standing data analysis program pursued by the group is dedicated to the exploration of the Higgs boson properties and searches for new physics phenomena beyond the Standard Model. The hardware activities involve the development and production of gaseous detectors and new trigger electronics for the operation in the ATLAS muon spectrometer at the high luminosity phase of the LHC and at future collider experiments.
The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role in ATLAS Higgs boson physics analyses, spanning the measurements of Higgs boson production and decay properties, as well as the combination and interpretation of the Higgs boson data. A PhD in particle physics and significant experience in data analysis are required. Important additional assets are good programming skills, experience with fitting methods and tools, as well as the knowledge of modern machine learning techniques. Participation in hardware activities of the group is optional, but appreciated.
Salary and benefits are according to the German public service pay scale (TVöD Bund). The contract is initially limited to two years and can be extended in accordance with German law and available funding.
The Max Planck Society strives for gender equality and diversity. The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
For questions concerning the position, please contact Dr. Sandra Kortner (sandra@mpp.mpg.de). Interested scientists should send their application until November 30th, 2023, exclusively via our online application portal. Applications should include a motivation letter, curriculum vitae with university certificates, statement of research interests and a list of publications. Please provide three names and contact details of persons who will be providing reference letters. We are looking forward to your online application.
