Competition # 303

Postdoc (ATLAS)

Located in Vancouver, BC, TRIUMF is Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics. Currently our ATLAS group is seeking a postdoctoral research fellow who will work on the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). TRIUMF was instrumental in building the ATLAS hadronic endcap calorimeter, and hosts an ATLAS Tier-1 data centre employing a large local team of Grid computing experts.

The TRIUMF group is currently active in searches for new Exotic and SUSY particles as well as Higgs searches and Standard Model measurements. We have a strong involvement in data quality as well as R&D for the high-luminosity forward calorimeter upgrade, including beam tests at the TRIUMF 500-MeV cyclotron.

The core analysis group includes four TRIUMF research scientists (Dr.'s A. Canepa, O. Stelzer- Chilton, R. Tafirout and I. Trigger), who closely collaborate with other HEP groups in Vancouver and in Victoria.

If you have recently earned a doctorate in experimental particle physics and have a strong background in data analysis, this may be an excellent research opportunity for you. The successful candidate will be expected to take a leading role in data analysis and to participate in data quality or calorimeter-related activities. The position can be based either at CERN (Geneva) or at TRIUMF. The anticipated start date for these positions is November 1st, 2011. Salary will be competitive and will depend on experience. Applications should be received by September 15th to receive full consideration; however, we will continue reviewing applications until a suitable candidate is found.

TRIUMF is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity in the workplace, and we welcome applications from all qualified candidates. Your complete application package should be submitted by email to recruiting@triumf.ca and will include the following in one complete PDF file:

Applications will be accepted until 2011-09-15
