We invite applications for two Postdoctoral Research Associates at ATLAS, with a flexible starting date between February 2024 - Summer 2024.

The successful candidates will lead novel Higgs analyses or di-Higgs searches in the di-photon decay channel, and deliver new photon trigger or identification and calibration developments to substantially progress Higgs analyses.

The position is initially 30-month (2.5-year) appointment, which may be extended upon successful performance and funding availability. We aim to hold zoom interviews in the end of January 2024. 

Possess, or on track to obtain a PhD in particle physics before end of August 2024, and a proven track record of high quality research in particle physics. In addition to candidates with experience in experimental particle physics, we welcome applications from excellent and motivated candidates with particle physics theory or phenomenology background.

Please apply at the job link: https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1001/job/9179 , and upload:

- a CV,

- a 1 page covering letter,

- a 1-2 page research achievement and vision statement.

We will rank the candidates according to their Knowledge, Skills and Experience, listed in the full job description, accessible from the job link.

Please arrange 2 (required) or 3 (desired) letters of reference to be posted to physics-references@ed.ac.uk by the application closing date, and ask the referees to include "ATLAS PDRA - 9179" in the subject field.

Please note: Prof. Clark is advertising a PDRA position at Edinburgh on a similar timescale (https://inspirehep.net/jobs/2735645). If you wish to be considered for both please submit separate applications. Your letter writers may include both job id's to save some administrative work if you wish.
