Employment Opportunity
Updated: Tuesday, July 28, 2009
CNRS/IN2P3 is opening three postdoctoral positions to work on the ATLAS experiment in the French laboratories
(see http://atlas-france.in2p3.fr). As the other IN2P3 ATLAS groups, CPPM invites candidates interested in joining its ATLAS activities to apply and will sponsor the best applicants during the final selection stage.
CPPM (http://marwww.in2p3.fr) is involved in several major projects in experimental particle physics, astroparticle and cosmology.
The ATLAS group at CPPM consists of about thirty-five people, including thirteen staff physicists, ten graduate students, and engineers. The group played a major role in the design and construction of the pixel detector, the electromagnetic endcap calorimeters and the trigger system, and pursues an R&D effort for the pixel upgrades. Current activities focus on the physics object identification (b-jets, electrons, missing energy) and on the preparation for data analysis using those objects (Standard Model physics and searches with electrons; top quark production, mass and properties; Higgs boson and supersymetry searches).
The group has a long standing involvement in b-jet identification and the successfull candidate will be expected to play a major role in the commissioning of the b-tagging tools: software development and maintenance, commissioning of the taggers with early data and measurement of the b-tagging performance in data. She/he will also strengthen and/or expend our physics analyses relying on b-tagging.
The position is for a fixed term of three years, starting in November 2009. Candidates for the position should hold a Ph.D. in Experimental Particle Physics. Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Candidates are invited to contact Dr. Laurent Vacavant (vacavant@in2p3.fr, +41 22 767 1145) for further information, and to send him their complete application package and arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent before September 4, 2009.
