Job description:
p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 115%; The ATLAS group at LPSC Grenoble invites applications for a post-doctoral position.
The LPSC group has made significant contributions to the construction, commissioning and operation of the presampler of the ATLAS calorimeter, and to the installation of the IBL. It now contributes to the upgrade of the pixel detector. The group plays a leading role in the development of Jet/MissingET algorithms and in searches for physics beyond the standard model. It is progressively shifting the focus of its analysis effort to the search for Higgs pair production (HH).
The successful candidate will contribute to two strongly related topics: the development of new technologies that combine the tracking and calorimeter information to reconstruct jets, and the search for HH using Run 2 data in the HH →b b gamma gamma or HH → b b tau tau channel. Specifically, the goal is to achieve the best possible jet energy resolution as well as optimal reconstruction of jet substructure variables, in the presence of the large pile-up in the Run 2 data as well as in the data that will be recorded in future runs. The approach is to integrate two types of objects to be used as input to jet finding: the particle flow objects described in a recent ATLAS publication and a novel type of combined calorimeter/track objects that make optimal use of the track angular resolution. Good jet resolution is a key ingredient for the identification of an HH signal on top of the large non-resonant background. The successful candidate will play a leading role in the ATLAS search for HH, with emphasis on the event reconstruction and selection.
The position is for two years and will start on November 1st 2018. Candidates must have obtained a Ph.D. in Physics in the last two years and have research experience in experimental elementary particle physics.
Applicants should send their CV, a brief statement of research interests, and arrange to have at least three letters of reference sent to Pierre-Antoine Delsart (delsart@in2p3.fr).
The position will remain open until filled.
Informal enquiries may be made to Pierre-Antoine Delsart (delsart@in2p3.fr), Fabienne Ledroit ( ledroit@lpsc.in2p3.fr) or Jan Stark (stark@in2p3.fr).
