Not Applicable Job Description
The Physics department at Syracuse University is soliciting applications for a postdoctoral researcher who will work in Experimental High Energy Physics on the LHCb experiment and its Upgrades. The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal. Questions and inquiries can be directed to Prof. Marina Artuso (martuso@syr.edu). The successful candidate will be stationed at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland or the Syracuse University Campus. The appointment can begin in Fall 2025. Qualifications
PhD in Experimental High Energy Physics Job Specific Qualifications Experience in experimental hardware and/or physics analysis. Responsibilities
Develop a realistic set of specifications for the calorimeter for LHCb Upgrade 2, which will inform the instrumental R&D of the group. This will be accomplished by incorporating different detector parameters in the LHCb simulation. In particular, the work will identify the requirements of time resolution which will inform the choice in detector parameters. The physics analysis work will involve the precision study of semileptonic decays to uncover signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model. Incorporation of theory tools, such as EOS or HAMMER, in the program of physics analyses related to this subject will be a key deliverable. Once the upstream detector construction is completed, the challenging task is to integrate the detector in LHCb and develop the monitoring infrastructure to ensure proper operation. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to modules needed for this software infrastructure and collaborate with the commissioning team. Some modules will be determined at the time of appointment. Application Instructions
In addition to completing an online application, please submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a cover letter that includes a short description of qualifications, and the e-mail addresses/phone numbers of three references. About Syracuse University
