Postdoctoral Positions in Experimental
High Energy Physics at UC Davis
The experimental high energy physics group at the University of California, Davis, invites
applications for three postdoctoral research positions in experimental particle physics on the
CDF and CMS experiments, starting as soon as possible. A Ph.D. in particle physics is required.
The CDF experiment at the Tevatron at Fermilab continues to amass a very large data set, with
plans to continue through 2011. UC Davis has responsibilities on the CDF trigger and
operations, and a physics focus on searches for new phenomena with tau leptons (Higgs boson
searches and supersymmetry), with top quarks, and in SM Higgs physics. The CDF group at UC
Davis has four faculty, one senior researcher, two postdocs, and four graduate students. The
successful candidate will initially focus on CDF at Fermilab, working under the supervision of
Profs. Robin Erbacher and John Conway, transitioning later to the CMS experiment.
The UC Davis group has been heavily involved in CMS since its beginning, and has made major
contributions to both hardware and software aspects of the forward pixel and endcap muon
detectors. Currently, the group is participating in detector commissioning and operations as well
as preparing for physics data analysis at the start of LHC running. These include searches for
Higgs and SUSY phenomena with leptons, including taus, new phenomena searches with
photons, and measurements and searches with high-
pT top quarks. The group is also developingprojects for detector upgrades for high-luminosity LHC running. The CMS effort at UC Davis
comprises six faculty, three senior researchers, four postdoctoral researchers, and nine graduate
students. There are two CMS positions available, working under Profs. Maxwell Chertok, John
Conway, Robin Erbacher, and Mani Tripathi.
Interested candidates should send a cover letter, curriculum vita, and statement of research
interests and experience, all in PDF format, and arrange to have at least three letters of reference
sent to:
