Assistant/Associate Professor in Experimental High Energy Physics (LHCb)

University of Cambridge - Department of Physics

Cambridge, United Kingdom

The Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics invites applications for a University Assistant/Associate Professor position in Experimental High Energy Physics (Collider Physics).

The appointment will strengthen the group's existing international reputation in experimental particle physics on the LHCb experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, and participate in future initiatives in the field.

The successful candidate will have a world-class research record in experimental particle physics and is expected to play a leading role in the group's activities on the LHCb experiment, including physics exploitation and/or the ongoing upgrade programme. Candidates may bring expertise that is more physics-analysis-focused or hardware/technology-focused, provided that it offers a complementary direction to the group's existing strengths and contributes to the breadth and vitality of its research portfolio. Engagement with future accelerator or non-accelerator-based particle physics initiatives is also desirable.

The Assistant/Associate Professorship will be based in the Department of Physics in the High Energy Physics Group, located in the Ray Dolby Centre Building of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. Applicants should have an undergraduate degree and a PhD in physics (or a cognate discipline), a strong record of relevant research, show evidence of research leadership (or potential to develop it) and the ability to attract research funding. They must show evidence of enthusiasm and ability to teach a wide range of physics courses successfully at both undergraduate and masters level.
