Closing Date: Until Filled.About IFAE: The Institut de Física d'Altes Energies (IFAE) is a public consortium of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Autonomous Government of Catalonia, and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB).
IFAE carries out research in high energy physics from theoretical, experimental and technological perspectives and has the Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence distinction **********).
About The ATLAS Group: The Collider Physics group at IFAE focuses on the scientific exploitation of the LHC at CERN.
The group has a long history with ATLAS and participates in TileCal, Level-1 Topological Trigger, Pixel detector upgrades, and physics analyses of top quark, Higgs, and searches for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model.
The group collaborates with IFAE's Theory Division and the PIC computing centre.What you will doThe successful candidate will join the IFAE-ATLAS group and participate in high-level physics analyses using Run 2 and Run 3 datasets, and contribute to the maintenance and operation of the ATLAS detector.
The role includes leading roles in physics analyses and collaboration across detector operations.ResponsibilitiesJoin the IFAE-ATLAS group and participate in physics analyses using Run 2 and Run 3 datasets.Participate in the maintenance and operation of the ATLAS detector.Contribute to research in areas such as precision measurements and searches for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model (examples include top quark, Higgs analyses, supersymmetry, vector-like fermions, leptoquarks, and additional Higgs bosons).
