Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati embarks upon its third century – building on the past and defining the future by leading urban, public universities into a new era of innovation and impact through its strategic direction, Next Lives Here . Underscoring the power of creativity, ingenuity, invention and inclusion, what’s Next will accelerate our unrivaled momentum, evidenced by eight straight years of record enrollment and rankings that include placement among America’s top 100 public universities by U.S. News & World Report. Home to a diverse student body of nearly 47,000 and more than 4,200 distinguished faculty, the university combines its Research 1 (Very High Research Activity) Carnegie Classification with a physical setting that The New York Times recently acclaimed as “the most ambitious campus design program in the country".

The Experimental High Energy Physics group in the Department of Physics at the University of Cincinnati seeks candidates for a Post Doctoral research fellow position to work on the LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.  The position is available to begin early 2022 and is for a one-year appointment, initially.  There is a possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance and the availability of funding.  The preferred location for this position is to be based at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland.

We will begin reviewing applications on January 15, 2022 and continue until the position is filled.

The successful candidate will perform measurements of Electroweak/QCD physics and searches for exotic new physics with LHCb, and will contribute to the successful operation of the LHCb detector.

Candidates for the position must have, or be about to obtain, a PhD or equivalent in high-energy physics or a closely-related field.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Advanced programming skills with C++ or Python languages
• Experience with data analysis in high energy physics
• Experience with high energy physics detector operations or construction
• The capability for effective scientific communication

Qualified and interested applicants must complete our online application process. In addition to the application, candidates must submit a cover letter of no more than one page describing their qualifications and research to date. Candidates must also submit a current copy of their curriculum vitae and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent directly to Professor Conor Henderson via email at [email protected] .
