Research Scientist, Postdoctoral Research Fellow
The experimental particle physics group working in LHCb is soliciting applications for a position of Postdoctoral Research Associate to work in the LHCb experiment at LHC, and its upgrades.
The Syracuse team is involved in physics analysis, software tasks associated with the optimization of the performance of the Upstream Tracker (UT) detector, and major R&D initiatives to optimize the technology choices of major LHCb Upgrade II detector components. There are several cutting‑edge projects related to the sensor and electronics infrastructure needed for a novel tracking detector, the Upstream Pixel (UP) detector for Upgrade II, based on the HV‑MAP technology.
We are working towards several key system‑level R&D efforts, such as key aspects of the detector mechanics, optimization of powering schemes and data transmission, and investigation of heterogeneous computing involving FPGAs and GPUs. This work relates to our commitment to develop innovative detectors that will meet the challenging basic research needs of future experiments. We are members of the DRD3 collaboration, play a leading role in the CPAD‑RDC9 R&D stream and are interested in developing innovative particle identification detectors for future high‑luminosity colliders.
In addition, we are pursuing several exciting physics analysis projects, ranging from conventional and exotic spectroscopy to precision Standard Model tests and searches for new physics, exploiting the unique opportunities offered by b‑quark decays.
The initial appointment is for one year, renewable up to three years. The successful applicant can be stationed either at Syracuse University or CERN. While the primary responsibility will be the work on the UP detector, we encourage the successful candidate to pursue physics analysis projects in collaboration with one of the Syracuse faculty.
The position is currently open, and we will accept applications until the job is filled. Interested applicant can submit their application packet, that should include highlights of research achievements and a research goals statement, at:
