The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing invites applications for three postdoctoral research positions in the IHEP LHCb group. The IHEP group joined LHCb collaboration in June 2018 and is currently active in the Upstream Tracker project for LHCb phase I upgrade, while involved in the physics analyses in heavy hadron spectroscopy, rare decays, and BSM. The group is also interested in silicon detector development for future collider experiments.

 

The successful candidates are expected to either play a leading role in physics analyses with LHCb data, or work on silicon detector R&D. The physics analyses topics could be on but not limited to the searches and studies of exotic heavy hadron states or CKM parameter measurements, and the silicon detector R&D topics including electronic system design, detector prototypes & components tests in the local lab, and system-level studies for future detectors. Relevant experiences such as LHCb software development, detector development and operation, trigger and DAQ electronics design, and FPGA programming will be highly considered. 

 

These positions can be based at CERN, or at IHEP with occasional travels to CERN, depend on the tasks that the post-holders carried on. 

 

Successful candidates will receive a competitive salary for either CERN or Beijing areas; applications for other CAS or IHEP fellowships are encouraged for extra benefit. Financial supports will be provided for conferences. All the positions are expected to start before Summer of 2023, lasting for two years with the possibility of extension. 

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in experimental particle physics or expect to graduate before the start of employment.  Interested applicants are kindly asked to send

to Prof. CHEN Shanzhen (shanzhen.chen@ihep.ac.cn) and Prof. XU Zijun (xuzj@ihep.ac.cn), Prof. YUAN Xuhao (xuhao.yuan@cern.ch). 

 

Questions and inquiries about the positions can be directed to the same addresses. Applications will be reviewed shortly after they are received, and the positions will remain open until filled.
