Postdoctoral Research Associate - Experimental Particle Physics Group

About the Opportunity SUMMARY The Experimental Particle Physics group at Northeastern University in Boston has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN. The position will be based at CERN. The Northeastern CMS group has leading involvements in the operation and upgrades of the endcap muon system, the electromagnetic calorimeter and new MTD, and the Level-1 trigger. Physics efforts include searches for physics beyond the standard model, di-Higgs boson studies, and precision electroweak and QCD measurements. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the upgrade of the CMS endcap muon system, as well as to take a leading role in physics data analysis with BSM models coupling to third-generation quarks. Prof. Bonilla Castro is strongly committed to outreach and science communications. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to these projects and will have the opportunity to work with Ph.D. and undergraduate students. RESPONSIBILITIES Assist in initiating, executing, and completing research and experiments Prepare and write research papers, presentations, and grant proposals Laboratory management Train graduate students QUALIFICATIONS A Ph.D. or equivalent degree in experimental particle physics by the time of the appointment is required. Candidates should have a strong record of recent accomplishments in data analysis and in detector hardware or software. Application should include: CV Statement of research interests Three letters of recommendation Position Type Research Additional Information Northeastern University considers factors such as candidate work experience, education, and skills when extending an offer. Northeastern has a comprehensive benefits package for benefit eligible employees. This includes medical, vision, dental, paid time off, tuition assistance, wellness & life, retirement, and commuting & transportation. Visit
