Résumé du poste

The University of Manchester’s Particle Physics group invites applications for a Research Associate to work on the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC. The successful candidate will join a vibrant team of researchers using state-of-the-art data analysis to study vector boson scattering and the polarisation of weak boson pairs.

The role requires a PhD in particle physics, strong collaboration skills, and the ability to develop jet reconstruction and tagging algorithms.

Qualifications

• PhD in particle physics by start date.
• Experience in data analysis, event generation, trigger, detector operations, or detector performance.

Responsabilités

• Study the polarisation of weak boson pairs produced via vector boson scattering and decay via the semileptonic channel.
• Develop and calibrate jet reconstruction and tagging algorithms to aid polarisation measurements.
• Collaborate with the Manchester ATLAS group and CERN; contribute to HL-LHC related studies if applicable.
• Possibly participate in phenomenology studies relevant to HL-LHC and FCC.
