Job ID: HEPHY050PD225

The Institute of High Energy Physics (HEPHY) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria’s leading non-university institution for science and research, is offering a position as

POSTDOC (F/M/X) for Physics Analysis with the CMS experiment .

(full-time)

HEPHY is one of the founding members of the CMS Collaboration. We have been strongly involved in the design, construction and operation of two of the major components of the experiment: the trigger system and the tracking detector. Our experience in building silicon detectors, the construction of FPGA based hardware and development of the appropriate firmware allow us to play a leading role within the collaboration. HEPHY is contributing to the high-luminosity upgrade plans for two major components of CMS: the silicon tracker and the high granularity calorimeter.

HEPHY has contributed to CMS physics results since the beginning of LHC operation. One of our priorities is the measurement of properties of the top quark, where we develop novel techniques for unbinned data analyses. We are also working on direct searches for signals of a dark sector, searches using displaced leptons, and on measurements of Higgs boson cross sections. Several members of the institute have been entrusted with positions in the CMS physics management.

Your Tasks

• strengthening of our analysis activities with the CMS experiment, in particular, taking a key role in the area of physics of the top quark and measurements with energy correlators
• data analysis, including the improvement of existing and the development of novel analysis strategies with novel machine-learning based unfolding techniques and
• interpretation of results in the context of SM
• supervision of students
• contributions to maintenance and development of the reconstruction and the calibration of physics objects

Your Profile

• PhD in the field of experimental particle physics
• an excellent research record and experience in performing analyses in a large international collaboration
• interest in part-time contributions to detector development is welcome but not a strict requirement
• good communication skills
• ability to work well in a team environment

Our Offers

• interesting and diversified activities in a motivated team of physicists who cover a wide range of expertise from detector design and construction to theoretical physics
• being member of a large international collaboration, including participation in working meetings and conferences and interactions with other CMS teams
• a full-time employment, with an annual gross salary of € 69.028,40 according to the salary scheme of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF)
• The position will be located in Vienna and opened for a period of four years

Please submit your application including a CV, a statement of research interests, a list of publications and two recommendation letters no later than May 31th, 2025.
