University of Minnesota - Minneapolis, MN
posted 16 days ago
The University of Minnesota High Energy Physics group seeks an outstanding applicant for a research associate position to develop novel instrumentation for future high energy and nuclear physics experiments. The appointment is expected to last for three years, subject to the availability of continued funding and satisfactory performance. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in high energy physics (HEP) or a closely related field, and to have demonstrated experience developing novel instrumentation for HEP detectors. Additionally, preference will be given to candidates with experience with detector operations. The Minnesota CMS group participates in a wide range of physics analyses, including precision measurements of the Higgs boson, Standard Model measurements and searches for exotic particles. Our interests in detectors include the development of pico-second timing systems and the application of modern machine learning methods, the design, development and testing of electronic components. Our group has leadership roles in the CMS hadron and electromagnetic calorimeters, and the high granular calorimeter planned for the CERN HL-LHC. The successful candidate will be expected to take on leading roles in the development of novel instrumentation for future high energy physics experiments.
