Position description The experimental particle physics group at the University of California, Irvine invites applications for a postdoctoral research position to work on the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, starting late 2026 or early 2027. The position can be based at CERN or at UC Irvine. The researcher will work primarily with Prof. Daniel Whiteson, and will
contribute to searches for beyond-the-standard model particles and forces, as well as development and applications of machine learning tools for particle physics more broadly. The researcher will have a wide latitude to pursue their own research agenda. The ATLAS group at UCI consists of Profs Daniel Whiteson, Andre Frankenthal, Anyes Taffard and Andrew Lankford, and enjoys a close and fruitful relationship with the
UCI theory and phenomenology group, as well as local experts in machine learning at the UCI Center for Machine Learning. The applicant should have, or be about to gain, a Ph.D. in particle physics, and is expected to have experience from at least two years of active participation in a leading international particle physics experiment. The strongest applicants will have a record of independence and creativity and have
published machine-learning related papers outside of the LHC collaborations. Interested candidates should apply online at UCI’s online application system: https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF10427 Informal inquiries can be directed to Prof. Whiteson at daniel@uci.edu. Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and the position will remain open until filled. Qualifications Basic qualifications (required at time of
application) The applicant should have, or be about to gain, a Ph.D. in particle physics, and is expected to have experience from at least two years of active participation in a leading international particle physics experiment.
