Atlas PHD Ific 2023
The ATLAS group at IFIC offers a PhD position within the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
The Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC) is a joint center of the Spanish National Research
Council (CSIC) and the University of Valencia (UV), devoted to particle, astroparticle and
nuclear research, covering both the theoretical and experimental aspects of these fields.
More information about IFIC can be found at: http://ific.uv.es/
The ATLAS group at IFIC (CSIC-UV) in Valencia is strongly involved in the operation and
Phase-II upgrade of the detector for the High Luminosity LHC, in particular for the Inner
Detector, Tile Calorimeter and Trigger systems. The group has expertise in e/gamma and
tau reconstruction and identification and is currently involved in top quark and Higgs boson
physics. The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role in searches for Higgs
boson pair production as well as in detector and trigger related activities.
Applicants must hold a University degree giving access to PhD studies by the time of
enrollment in the PhD program. Candidates are expected to have strong interest in the
analysis of particle physics data, be capable of personal initiative and be willing to be
involved in one of the largest scientific collaborations in the world. Good software skills (C++,
Python, ROOT) and previous research experience in experimental particle physics would be
desirable. The position will be based in Valencia and will require research stays at CERN to
contribute to Run 3 data taking activities during the duration of the PhD.
A curriculum vitae, a brief description of research interests and arrange for two letters of
recommendation should be sent to: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/24861
