a passion for discovery -Tenure-Track Physicist on ATLASJob ID1500Date posted10/23/2018 Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multipurpose research institution funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energys Office of Science. Located on the center of Long Island, New York, Brookhaven Lab brings world-class facilities and expertise to the most exciting and important questions in basic and applied sciencefrom the birth of our universe to the sustainable energy technology of tomorrow. We operate cutting-edge large-scale facilities for studies in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, applied science, and a wide range of advanced technologies. The Laboratory's almost 3,000 scientists, engineers, and support staff are joined each year by more than 4,000 visiting researchers from around the world. Our award-winning history, including seven Nobel Prizes, stretches back to 1947, and we continue to unravel mysteries from the nanoscale to the cosmic scale, and everything in between. Brookhaven is operated and managed by Brookhaven Science Associates, which was founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, and Battelle, a nonprofit applied science and technology organization. Organizational Overview The Omega Group in the Physics Department at BNL focuses on the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. We have a strong physics program concentrated on measurements of Standard Model processes (Electroweak, Higgs, and top quark production) and on searches for new physical phenomena (Higgs, dark matter, supersymmetry, and exotics). The Omega Group has major responsibilities in the operation of the ATLAS Liquid Argon calorimeter, Cathode Strip Chambers in the muon spectrometer, trigger and software development, and has leading roles in the ATLAS Phase-I upgrade (Liquid Argon calorimeter, Muon New Small Wheel, and Trigger/Data Acquisition) and the HL-LHC upgrade (Silicon Strip detector, Liquid Argon calorimeter, and Trigger/Data Acquisition). The group also has a strong detector R&D programs on silicon detectors and in trigger/DAQ. BNL serves as the host laboratory for the U.S. ATLAS Operations Program, the U.S. ATLAS Phase-I & HL-LHC Upgrade Projects, the ATLAS Tier-1 computing facility, and is an active U.S. ATLAS Center. Position Description The Omega Group in the Physics Department has an opening for a tenure-track physicist to join the ongoing effort on the ATLAS experiment for an initial two-year term. The successful candidate is expected to have a strong interest in the LHC physics and experimental program and experience in software or detector development for hadron collider experiments. The selected candidate will be placed at the appropriate scientific level dependent upon depth and breadth of relevant knowledge and skills. Position Requirements Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: -PhD in experimental particle or nuclear physics -At least 3 years of postdoctoral research experience in particle or nuclear physics experiments -Ability to lead a team and work in a large collaboration Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: -Demonstrated leadership in scientific research at hadron-collider particle experiments -Experience with detector R&D -Experience with computing & software development OTHER INFORMATION: -Domestic and international travel is expected. Candidates seeking to apply must submit an electronic application to this opening. Your application must include a cover letter, CV, and Research Statement as Word documents or PDF. Please arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to Linda Feierabend ( -) including "Position 1500" in the subject line. The application is complete when all of these items have been received. Consideration of applications will beginDecember 17, 2018and continue until the position is filled.
