The High Energy Physics group at Boston University (BU) is seeking a postdoctoral associate to work on the CMS experiment at the LHC.

Our group takes advantage of its expertise in calorimetry, the CMS trigger system, developing and operating readout electronics; jets, missing energy and muon reconstruction; and covers a wide range of physics interests, including SM measurements, Higgs boson studies, and searches for Dark Matter, and SUSY.

The successful candidate is expected to take a leading role in data analysis related to Dark Matter searches and also to make a substantial contribution toward the development of the inner tracker readout electronics for the HL-LHC. The postdoctoral research associate will also have opportunities to collaborate with BU students, scientists, and faculty, and will be encouraged to develop their own interests and projects. The position may be based either at Boston University or at CERN, with temporary stays in either of the two locations as necessary.

Candidates must have a PhD in experimental high-energy physics by the appointmentstart date and should submit a brief statement of interest, a CV, and arrange for at least three reference letters. Applications, letters and further inquiries about the position canbe sent to Prof. Zeynep Demiragli (zdemirag@bu.edu).

The review of the applications will start on September 15th, and the review will continue until the position is filled.

Applications from women and underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged.
