Postdocs
The ATLAS group at the University of Freiburg (Prof. Karl Jakobs/
Dr. Christian Weiser) has an opening for a
Postdoctoral Position.
Our group has long-standing experience in Higgs boson physics, studies of
supersymmetry, Standard Model measurements and is also engaged in the
operation of the ATLAS semiconductor tracker (SCT) as well as in upgrade
projects on silicon strip detectors (ATLAS ITk).
The focus of the postdoc activities will be on studies of the physics of the Higgs
boson and electroweak symmetry breaking with LHC Run 2 data, in particular on
the investigation of H ! bb decays. Participation in an ATLAS combined
performance group (e.g. b-tagging) or detector operation (SCT) is also expected.
The position is limited to a duration of three years with the possibility of an
extension by one more year. Payment is according to the E13 salary level of the
German TV-L system. The University of Freiburg is an equal opportunity
employer. Suitable qualified women as well as persons with disabilities are
encouraged to apply.
Applicants should hold a doctoral degree in physics and should have
demonstrated excellent skills in particle physics data analysis. They are expected
to participate to some extent in teaching at the faculty.
The position is available from 1 September 2017.
Applications should be sent to christina.skorek@physik.uni-freiburg.de
until 15 July 2017, and should include a curriculum vitae, a short description of
the research experience and interests, copies of certificates of degrees, and the
names and contact addresses of three persons to be contacted for letters of
reference.
