Postdoctoral Scholar

Academic Personnel Postdoctoral Scholar - Experimental Particle Physics School / Campus / College: College of Arts and Sciences Organization: Physics Title: Postdoctoral Scholar - Experimental Particle Physics

Position

The Department of Physics at the University of Washington invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar position. The successful candidate will work on the ATLAS experiment the LHC and the IRIS-HEP project with Professor Gordon Watts and a group searching for Long Lived Particles using Machine Learning and building and integrating new tools into the field’s python analysis eco-system. The anticipated start date is Winter Quarter 2024. The University of Washington Experimental Particle Physics group (EPE) is a team of four professors, four postdocs, and four graduate students working on the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. We are interested in exploring electroweak symmetry breaking and the search for exotic decays of the Higgs, particularly with searches for Long Lived Particles. We are also a founding member of the IRIS-HEP project (Institute for Research and Innovation in Software for the HL-LHC, ). Our group’s IRIS-HEP work involves developing analysis systems: integrating HEP with the python-based analysis ecosystem, enabling low latency analysis of large datasets, and pursuing differentiable analysis and Machine Learning for analysis workflows. The successful candidate will apply new analysis paradigms to physics analysis, both for ATLAS and for their own analyses. The salary range for this position will be $5705- $6334 per month, commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination. For questions please contact Gordon Watts ( gwatts @uw.edu ). The position is a full-time, 12-month (one-year) appointment, which may be extended (upon successful performance), subject to funding and mutual agreement. The Postdoctoral Scholar title is limited to five years, including postdoctoral experience(s) at UW and other institutions. Postdoctoral Scholars are represented by UAW 4121 and are subject to the collective bargaining agreement, unless agreed exclusion criteria apply.
