Summary
For informal enquiries, please contact Tim Gershon (Professor) t.j.gershon@warwick.ac.uk or Gary Barker (Professor) G.J.Barker@warwick.ac.uk
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Elementary Particle Physics (EPP) Group within the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick.
We are seeking to make an academic appointment and invite applications from outstanding particle physicists able to take a significant role in our research programme with the LHCb detector at the LHC and contribute effectively to the delivery of our undergraduate programmes, including the joint honours degrees in Mathematics and Physics. The appointment will be made at either Assistant or Associate Professor level dependent on the experience of the successful candidate.
The Department of Physics provides an exciting and highly supportive environment in which academics can develop their careers. At Warwick, academic appointments to the post of Assistant Professor who are Research and Teaching focused, are normally subject to a probationary period of 5 years. It is possible to meet the requirements for completion of probation in less than 5 years, and upon successful completion appointment as an Associate Professor is confirmed. The University of Warwick maintains a global outlook, has collaborations around the world, and welcomes applicants of all nationalities. We are fully committed to equality of opportunity and encourage application and enquiries from all suitably qualified candidates.
The Warwick LHCb Group, led by Professor Tim Gershon, has several prominent roles within the international LHCb collaboration. The group supports the maintenance, operation and upgrades of the VELO silicon vertex subdetectors, and carries out R&D on the TORCH particle identification device with a view to its use in a future LHCb upgrade. The group also has responsibilities in Monte Carlo event generation and simulation, and in data processing. The group has diverse interests in the exploitation of LHCb data, searching for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics through studies of CP violation, rare decays and the properties and interactions of electroweak gauge bosons.
Applications are welcome from all candidates who can strengthen and complement our existing activities within LHCb, but the appointment would particularly suit an applicant with strong interest in development of photon detectors and particle identification. We also invite applications from exceptional candidates having interests aligned with any of our other areas of particle physics, who already hold an externally funded research fellowship or similar research funding.
