Position Profile
Purdue University Northwest, located in Hammond and Westville, Indiana is inviting applications for a post-doctoral research associate position in experimental high energy physics to work on the CMS experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The group has played a leadership role in the construction of the CMS Forward Pixel Detector at the Silicon Detector Facility at Fermilab and in developing its geometry description for simulation and the CMS Alignment and Calibration Database group. We are involved with the HL-LHC upgrades of the Forward Pixel Detector, activities of the LHC Physics Center (LPC) at Fermilab and physics analysis in the New Searches Beyond the Standard Model sectors. The successful candidate is expected to work on the design and construction of the CMS Tracker Forward Pixel Detector (TFPX) and to complete physics analyses using collision data from the CMS detector. Experience in Pixel/Tracker detector software/hardware, and physics analyses will be preferred.
Education
