University of Oxford Post-doctoral Research Assistant to work on the LHCb experiment
Particle Physics, Denys Wilkinson Building, Keble Road, Oxford
Grade 7: £29,099-£35,788 (GBP) p.a.
The Sub-department of Particle Physics at the University of Oxford is seeking a well-qualified post-doctoral research assistant to work on analysis of data from LHCb experiment at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN. LHCb is an experiment that is searching for the effects of new physics processes in the decays of beauty and charm hadrons. The Oxford group plays a lead role in LHCb physics analyses, for example in studies to determine the unitarity triangle angle gamma, and the search for CP-violation in the charm sector. The group also has important detector responsibilities which include the Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) system, the Vertex Locator (VELO), and the design of the upgraded LHCb experiment. The post-holder will lead analysis studies, and also participate in detector operation and maintenance tasks. The successful candidate will be employed by the University of Oxford as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant on the Grade 7 salary scale, which ranges from 29,099 to 35,788 pounds per annum, depending on experience. The normal place of work will be at the Denys Wilkinson Building, Keble Road, Oxford, OX1 3RH; some travel to and work at CERN will be required. The post is supported by STFC. Only applications received promptly by 12:00 noon UK time on 1 April 2011 can be considered. Applicants are requested to read the job description document before writing their application. You will be required to upload a Curriculum Vita, a description of research experience and interests and the names and addresses of three referees as part of your online application. In addition candidates should arrange for the three letters of reference to be sent to s.geddes1@physics.ox.ac.uk by the closing date. All applications will be acknowledged. Informal enquiries about this post may be made to Dr G. Wilkinson (g.wilkinson1@physics.ox.ac.uk) or Prof. N. Harnew (n.harnew1@physics.ox.ac.uk).
