Post-doctoral Associate in Experimental High Energy Physics

NYUAD Experimental High Energy Physics group is searching for a post-doctoral associate to join the planned group's efforts to be involved in the ATLAS experiment as part of the UAE-ATLAS cluster, composed of three UAE institutions. Candidates must demonstrate experience in experimental high energy physics. The group will be contributing to the Physics Modeling (MC software, MC validation and Pileup modeling), the MET High-Level Trigger validation, optimization and performance studies, and to the heterogeneous computing where the focus will be to work on to the current efforts on accelerator developments towards the HL-LHC. Expertise in trigger development, performance and optimization and/or the ATLAS computing model is preferred.

The selected candidate will work in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The appointment will be for two years, with the possibility for renewal, subject to mutual agreement.

The successful candidate is expected to take a leading role in the development of the group tasks and help in supervising PhD students.

Applicants must have a PhD in experimental high energy physics or related field. Applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests, a transcript, three letters of reference, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email Dr. Marta Losada marta.losada@nyu.edu.

The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled.
