About the Opportunity

SUMMARY

The Experimental Particle Physics group at Northeastern University in Boston has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN. The position will be based at CERN.

The Northeastern CMS group has leading involvements in the operation and upgrades of the endcap muon system, the electromagnetic calorimeter and new MTD, and the Level-1 trigger. Physics efforts include searches for physics beyond the standard model, di-Higgs boson studies, and precision electroweak and QCD measurements.

The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the upgrade of the CMS endcap muon system, as well as to take a leading role in physics data analysis with BSM models coupling to third-generation quarks. Prof. Bonilla Castro is strongly committed to outreach, science communications. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to these projects. The candidate will also have the opportunity to work with Ph.D. and undergraduate students.
