The High Energy Physics group at the University of Rochester invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position on the CMS experiment at CERN. The Rochester group is involved in electroweak, top quark and Higgs measurements, as well as in searches for dark showers; in addition, the group participates in the operation of the hadronic calorimeter, the tracker, and the High-Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) and Silicon outer-tracker upgrades for the High-Luminosity LHC.




The successful candidate is expected to engage actively in analysis of CMS data and will have considerable freedom in developing this program, as well as participating in the hadronic calorimeter operation and/or upgrade (HGCAL).
