The Physics department at Syracuse University is soliciting applications for a postdoctoral researcher who will work in Experimental High Energy Physics on the LHCb experiment and its Upgrades. Presently, we are involved in several interesting projects related to the LHCb Upgrade II, and in the CERN DRD3 R&D collaboration, and the RDC9 R&D effort within the DPF-CPAD task force.

There are several cutting-edge projects related to the sensor and electronics infrastructure needed for a novel tracking detector, the Upstream Pixel (UP) detector for Upgrade II, based on the HV-MAP technology. We are working towards several key system-level R&D efforts, such as the development and validation of the full readout architecture stream, optimization of powering schemes and data transmission, and investigation of heterogeneous computing involving FPGAs and GPUs.

In addition, we are pursuing several exciting physics analysis projects, ranging from conventional and exotic spectroscopy to precision Standard Model tests and searches for new physics, exploiting the unique opportunities offered by b-quark decays.

The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal.

Questions and inquiries can be directed to Prof. Marina Artuso ([email protected]). The successful candidate will be stationed at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland or the Syracuse University Campus. The appointment can begin in the Fall 2025.
