The Experimental High Energy Physics Group at Brandeis University has an opening for a

postdoctoral research associate to work on the ATLAS experiment. The ATLAS group at Brandeis

plays a leading role in the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) Strip detector while pursuing a broad

physics program focusing on the measurement of Higgs boson properties, precision Standard

Model measurements, and direct searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

The successful candidate is expected to play a major role in one or more of the following areas:

data analysis, building and commissioning the ITk Strip detector, ATLAS tracking performance

studies. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics, excellent data analysis

and programming skills, and the ability to carry out an independent research program. Experience

with detector work is highly valued but not required. This position is based at CERN and the start

date is flexible.

Review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until the position is filled. The

application material should be sent electronically. Interested candidates should send a curriculum

vitae, a brief statement about research experience and interests, and arrange for three letters of

recommendation to be sent to:

Prof. Gabriella Sciolla, e-mail: sciolla@brandeis.edu

Prof. Aram Apyan, e-mail: arapyan@brandeis.edu

Brandeis University is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to creating equitable

access and opportunities for applicants to all employment positions.
