Postdoctoral Fellow &ndash Physics

The Oklahoma State University high-energy Physics group invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow to work on the ATLAS experiment. Our group currently participates in pixel detector operations b-tagging calibrations boosted object tagging and a variety of physics analyses in the area of top quarks physics and searches for new physics. The group is also involved in the Phase 2 ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITK) upgrade work focusing on the optimization of the tracker geometry in terms of the b-tagging performance and development of the pixel detector powering system. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in physics by the date of appointment. The candidate is expected to play a leading role in analysis of Run 2 data actively contribute to the Phase 2 ITK upgrade and be able to mentor graduate students in the group. The position is expected to involve frequent travel to CERN or residency at CERN. Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae summary of research experience (one page) and brief statement of research interests (one page) to physics(at)okstate.edu with HEP Postdoc in the subject line. Applicants should also arrange for at least three letters of recommendation to be sent directly by the referees to physics(at)okstate.edu.
