Postdoctoral Researcher- Experimental High Energy Physics Job #: 077472 Location Syracuse, NY or (CERN) Geneva, Switzerland Pay Range: $58,500 - $62,000 Hours: As determined by supervisor Job Type: Full-time 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 early 2024. 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 EOS or HAMMER, in the vibrant 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 make that everything is working properly. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to modules needed for this software infrastructure. The successful candidate will collaborate with the commissioning team and be responsible of some modules to be determined at the time of appointment, as the specifics are contingent on the start time.
