瑞士苏黎世联邦理工大学招聘分子物理学方向博士后

The Institute for Particle Physics (IPP www.ipp.phys.ethz.ch) of ETH Zurich invites applications for a postdoctoral research position starting in autumn 2015 to work ondetector development and hardware activities for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.  The IPP CMS group has a strong involvement both in physics analyses as well as in the operation and upgrade of the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) and the barrel pixel detector (BPIX) of CMS. We are also involved in generic R&D of radiation hard CVD diamond detectors.
 
The successful candidate is expected to have a PhD in Particle Physics and an excellent record of successful work in the field of hardware development and detector operations.  Candidates with experience from a hadron collider experiment are particularly favored. The candidate is expected to play a leading role in the quality assurance of the BPIX module production for the CMS phase 1 pixel detector upgrade and in the subsequent integration and commissioning of the detector. Beyond phase 1, participation in pixel detector technology for the CMS phase 2 upgrade is expected. 

For candidates with sufficient postdoctoral experience, the appointment can be made at the (non-permanent, non-tenure track) senior postdoc (Oberassistent/in) level.

The initial term of the position is three years with the possibility of extension for a further three years. 

Interested candidates are asked to submit an application by 15 Sept. 2015 together with a letter of motivation, the names and addresses of three referees, a curriculum vitae and a list of publications. The application should be sent via email only to ipp-cmsjob@phys.ethz.ch. 

Recommendation letters will be solicited from the provided contact information as appropriate. Inquiries concerning the positions can be made to Prof. Rainer Wallny (rainer.wallny@cern.ch, inquiries only). The envisaged starting date is in October 2015 or as soon as the position can be filled thereafter
