Job description
The Experimental Particle Physics group at Sussex seeks to appoint a talented and creative researcher, with strong computational and experimental skills, to join Sussex’s vibrant research programme on Experimental Particle Physics. The post focuses on Technology R&D for Particle Physics as part of the SWIFT-HEP project and on the application of such technology to the ATLAS experiment Phase 2 upgrade of the High Level Trigger. The successful candidate will be expected to work on the development and benchmarking of High Level Synthesis FPGA algorithms for real-time Particle Physics applications, where the group has significant institutional commitments.
The post is funded for 8 months. The Sussex ATLAS group has significant involvement in both the ATLAS Upgrade and the SWIFT-HEP efforts, and continuation of funding from one or both of these streams is likely. Candidates are expected to hold, or be close to obtaining, a doctorate in experimental particle physics and to have a demonstrated track record of internationally recognised research at a large-scale collider experiment.
Please contact Professor Alessandro Cerri, a.cerri@sussex.ac.uk and Professor Antonella de Santo, a.de-santo@sussex.ac.uk for informal enquiries.
