Stillingstittel:
Researcher position in Experimental Particle Physics (2016/2542)

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.Researcher position in Experimental Particle Physics - ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

A researcher position in Experimental Particle Physics is available at The Department of Physics, University of Oslo, Norway.

The position, which is funded by the The Research Council of Norway under the project "CERN-Related High Energy Particle Physics Research", is available for a period of 2-3 years, starting on 01.05.2016.

Job/ project description:

The selected candidate is expected to work within ATLAS, which is one of the experiments at CERN's "Large Hadron Collider" (LHC), a proton-proton collider, where data taking at high luminosity and energy has restarted in April 2015.

The present ATLAS analysis involvements of the Oslo group include searches for new symmetries (supersymmetry, new gauge bosons (W', Z')) and dark matter searches in final states containing leptons, and measurements of the Higgs boson properties. The group is heavily involved in distributed computing, ATLAS software and ATLAS detector upgrade, in particular in relation with the planned new tracking detector ITK. The research program is carried out within the High Energy Particle Physics project in close collaboration with the University of Bergen.

It is expected that the successful candidate will (i) play a leading role in the search for new physics with the ATLAS detector at 13 TeV, with emphasis on exotics physics (new forces, new dimensions, dark matter), (ii) take responsibilities within software, data quality and technical validation of new computing infrastructures, (iii) participate as shift leader in ATLAS data taking, and (iv) contribute to the development of educational material based on ATLAS data.

The candidate will strongly interact with Master and PhD-students and post-doctoral researchers in the group, thus collaborative abilities are mandatory.

For more information about ATLAS in Norway see here.

Qualifications:

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for this position will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

Applicants must hold a PhD degree in Particle Physics. We seek a candidate with a strong background from experimental high-energy physics, with a prior knowledge of ATLAS and its analysis software. Excellent programming skills and experience in data analysis, statistics, software and computing are essential.

An expert committee will evaluate the applications. Information and materials that should be considered by the committee must be submitted within the deadline.

Please also refer to the regulations pertaining to the conditions of employment for post-doctoral fellowship and researcher positions.

Salary:

Position code SKO 1109, Pay grade: 57 - 63 (NOK 483 700 – 540 200 per year)

The application must include:

• Application letter
• CV (summarizing education, positions and academic work - scientific publications)
• Copies of educational certificates and transcript of records
• List of publications and academic work that the applicant wishes to be considered by the evaluation committee
• A short description of scientific interest
