University of Clermont

 

The University of Clermont Ferrand is opening a permanent teaching position ("Maitre de Conference", equivalent to junior professor)) in high-energy physics (poste N¡ã 29MCF0307). The teaching activity will take place at the Physics Department of the Blaise Pascal University. The research activity of the recruited person will take place at the Laboratoire de Physique Corpusculaire (LPC) de Clermont-Ferrand (http://clrwww.in2p3.fr <http://clrwww.in2p3.fr/> ) in the LHCb experiment.

A good knowledge of French is essential for teaching.

 

The Clermont LHCb team is playing a leading role in the construction and the commissioning of the Pre-Shower part of the calorimeter system and the first level trigger Decision Unit. At the beginning of the LHC operation these responsibilities include the detector calibration and performance monitoring. Participation in the LHCb upgrade is also under study.

 

The Clermont LHCb team has a wide range of physics interests and made substantial contributions to the preparation of the analysis tools of the very first data, the ¦¤¦£ and ¦¤ms measurements in the B0s system, the determination of the CKM angles ¦Á in B0d decays and ¦Ã in B0s decays, as well as the study of the ¦«b baryon and the time reversal.

 

Successful applicants are expected to contribute significantly to the LHCb detector operation, taking an active part in the major experimental and data analysis activities and foreseen upgrade of the apparatus.
