Postdoctoral Associate - Physics and Astronomy (Finance)
The Rice group on CMS has a strong background in physics analysis. We are presently active in analyses that use the production and decay of the Higgs boson to search for physics beyond the standard model. Rice contributes to the CMS endcap muon system, and its trigger, and the silicon pixel detector, with common interests in trigger electronics, data acquisition electronics, and related software. We also have an ongoing interest in applying machine learning techniques to the muon trigger and data analysis. For this position the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the endcap muon system trigger. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute physics analyses with the CMS detector.
Qualified candidates can apply electronically at which requests a curriculum vita, list of publications, and brief description of research interests. Candidates should provide via email to Ana Robledo ( arobledo@rice.edu ) at least three references.
Inquiries may be addressed to Prof. Paul Padley ( padley@rice.edu ). Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.
