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) whose main objective is to carry out research and to contribute to the development of high energy physics from a theoretical, experimental and technological point of view. IFAE has the status of a "University Institute" attached to the UAB and its premises are within the campus of the University.

About the ATLAS Group

The Collider Physics group at IFAE focuses on the scientific exploitation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The group was created in ****, when IFAE joined the ATLAS Collaboration at the LHC. The ATLAS detector is designed to explore a wide range of phenomena predicted by the Standard Model (SM) while maximizing sensitivity to beyond-the-SM processes. The group maintains a strong presence in the ATLAS experiment, with major responsibilities on the maintenance and operation of the Tile Hadronic Calorimeter (TileCal) and the Level-1 Topological Trigger system, and participates in the Pixel detector upgrade. The research program includes precision measurements of the top quark and Higgs boson and searches for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model. During Run 3 of the LHC, which started in July **** and will last till mid ****, the centre‑of‑mass energy of proton‑proton collisions increased to 13.6 TeV and the total delivered integrated luminosity will reach ~330 fb⁻¹.

Responsibilities and Requirements

- Master's degree in Physics or admission to the UAB Physics PhD program before contract start.
- Proficiency in English.
- Strong academic record.
- Research experience in experimental particle physics during Master studies.
- Will work on physics analyses and participate in detector upgrade tasks for the High‑Luminosity LHC.

Specific Requirements and Merits

- Strong CV with excellent academic results and strong recommendation letters.

Evaluation criteria: CV – 50, Letters of recommendation – 25, Research experience – 25.

Contract and Benefits

Predoctoral Contract (4 years). Full‑time 40 h/week. Salary proportional to experience within the corresponding category range. Opportunity to gain first‑hand learning experience and personal growth.

Equal Opportunities

IFAE is committed to equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion. Women are especially encouraged to submit their candidacy. The institution reaffirms its commitment to integrating people with disabilities and underrepresented groups in the scientific field; per Article 59 of the EBEP, seven percent of places are reserved for people with disabilities, with at least two percent of total staff so designated.
