Postdoctoral Position in experimental high-energy collider physics

The Laboratory for High Energy Physics (LHEP) and Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics (AEC) at the University of Bern invite applications for a

Postdoctoral Position in experimental high-energy collider physics

The position will be in the framework of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) at CERN. Our group has a long history of collider physics. We are starting a new dedicated group towards the FCC-ee that will involve detector development and physics studies. There is strong synergy with the ongoing efforts on ATLAS inner detector pixel detector upgrade and searches for new physics. We have in-house mechanical and electronics workshops as well as a scientific computing cluster to support the work.

The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role in the current activities of the group and proactively shape the plans for the FCC. Applicants must have a completed PhD in experimental high-energy physics with an academic age of preferably less than three years (in any case not exceeding six years). Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background in particle physics detectors. The initial duration of the contract is for two years, extendable. The position will be located in Bern.

Candidates are requested to send a short letter of application illustrating the research interests and motivation to join our group. Also required are CV, a list of publications, and the names and e-mail addresses of three references (we will ask the references to send letters after an initial selection).

The review of applications will start February 3rd, 2025 and continue until the position is filled.
