The Institut de Física d'Altes Energies (IFAE) is seeking applicants for a new Director.
IFAE is a consortium of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) created in ****.
IFAE is a CERCA Center of Excellence whose mission is to perform cutting-edge research, theoretical and experimental, in high-energy physics, astroparticle physics and cosmology, going from particles to the cosmos, and, at the same time, to contribute to society by applying the acquired knowledge and insight in strategic sectors.
CERCA is the public Catalan system of research institutes.
IFAE is also a founding member of the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST), which includes seven leading CERCA centers in Catalonia.
IFAE is located in the UAB campus near Barcelona.
IFAE brings together ICREA research professors, UAB professors and its own scientific personnel to work in theoretical physics research lines in Standard Model, Beyond the Standard Model, and Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology, together with experimental research lines in Collider Physics (ATLAS), Neutrinos (T2K, HyperK), Gamma-Ray Astronomy (MAGIC, CTA), Gravitational Waves (Virgo, LIGO, ET), and Observational Cosmology (DES, PAU, DESI, Euclid, LSST).
There are two applied research lines focused on Medical Imaging and Quantum Computing Technologies.
IFAE has a strong technical division playing a crucial role in all experiments.
Our facilities include a microelectronics laboratory with state-of-the-art packaging and assembly technologies, clean rooms, a mechanical workshop, electronics labs, an optical room and a shielded room.
Moreover IFAE manages, jointly with CIEMAT, PIC (Port d'Informació Científica), a large data-processing center, which is a Tier 1 of LHC and is recognized as a Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructure, offering ad
