SLAC Research Associate Positions on ATLAS

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is seeking applicants for experimental Research Associate positions to work on the ATLAS experiment at CERN. The imminent startup of the LHC presents ideal opportunities for physics at the energy frontier and experimental experience in the challenging initial commissioning. These openings allow participation in a selection of experimental areas that SLAC is involved in and variety of physics topics at the LHC. The successful candidates will be encouraged to take the initial post at CERN. Interested applicants should submit an application and arrange the recommendation letters to be sent.    

ATLAS Involvement

Current experimental areas the SLAC team is involved in:

As the group grows from its present size of ~20 people, of which 7 are based at CERN, we expect to strengthen our involvement in these areas and potentially expand to other areas. The physics interest of the group has a main long range theme toward searches for new physics, while the initial analysis effort also includes early Standard Model measurements such as top physics, with emphasis on the buildup of physics signature tools. For further information, please contact Prof. Su Dong or Dr. Charles Young.

Qualifications

These are highly competitive positions as part of the general research associate program at SLAC, requiring a background of demonstrated excellence in research and a recent PhD in experimental particle physics. The term of these positions is two years in the first instance and may be renewed.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should submit the following:

Candidates should also ask at least three senior physicists who know their work to provide letters of recommendation.

Please EMAIL your materials in electronic form (pdf) and at the same time ask your referees to EMAIL their letters to RAadmin@slac.stanford.edu.

The applications are continually accepted throughout the year and periodically processed. In case your application must be processed on a short time scale due to other constraints, please notify us at application time.   

Plese note: Hires at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) are subject to Department of Energy approval, and are required to complete Environmental Safety & Health training.
