Post-doctoral position in experimental particle physics
at the University of Mississippi
The experimental particle physics group at the University of Mississippi is seeking applicants for a post doctoral position to work on the CMS experiment. The initial appointment is for one year beginning as soon as a suitable candidate is found and is renewable for up to three years.
The University of Mississippi HEP group is currently involved in the CMS hadron calorimeter and CMS pixel detectors. The HEP group a has a strong background in heavy quark physics, including c and b flavor tagging.
The post-doc will be expected to play a leading role in tuning of the fast calorimeter simulation tools for CMS as well as become involved with calibrations for the CMS hadron and electromagnetic calorimeters.
The University of Mississippi group is involved in black hole simulations at the LHC and the post doc would have the opportunity to lead the effort to discover or place limits on black hole production during the opening physics run of the LHC. Topics in Higgs and Supersymmetry are also open for pursuit, especially related to channels involving flavor tagging and missing ET. Close work with efforts at the Fermilab LPC and CERN is expected.
The candidate should have a PhD in physics, a background in experimental particle physics, and possess the computing expertise to carry on an effective research program. Programming skills in C++ and experience with GEANT would be necessary. The candidate should have a clear sense of initiative, motivation, and have excellent communication skills. The position will be based in the U.S. with travel to CERN for service commitments and to communicate on research.
Applicants should apply on line at http://www.olemiss.edu/depts/HR/ (->Employment->Job Listings ) where a CV and statement of research interests should be posted. In addition the applicant should have 3 letters of reference sent to:
