The Centre for Cosmology, Particle Physics and Phenomenology (CP3) at the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, invites applications for one postdoctoral position in particle physics. Funding is available for 2 years with the possibility for extention for one more year. The position can start as soon as possible.
Candidates should have a PhD in Particle Physics, or expect to have it within the next few months. The funding rules require that the candidates must be in the condition of international mobility, defined by our funding agency as not having resided or carried out their main activity (job, studies...) in Belgium for more than 24 months during the 3 years directly preceding the beginning of this postdoctoral fellowship, and that the PhD was obtained not more than 6 years before the start of the contract. Candidates with a proven experience in data analysis are particularly encouraged to apply.
The selected candidates are expected to join the CMS experimental studies. Service work (EPR) for the CMS collaboration is also expected. The Principal Investigators of the CMS-Louvain team are Agni Bethani, Christophe Delaere, Andrea Giammanco and Anna Benecke. More information about our CMS activities can be found at https://www.uclouvain.be/fr/instituts-recherche/irmp/cp3/cms-en
The successful candidate will work with Agni Bethani and Higgs and multi-Higgs related topics. The selected candidates will be given the opportunity to lead a well-defined analysis effort, in collaboration with PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. It is also possible, although not mandatory, to contribute to our hardware activities, which are mainly devoted to upgrades of the Tracker system and led by Christophe Delaere.
The selected candidates are expected to be based in Belgium for the duration of the contract. Travel funding is available for presenting at conferences and workshops and for research missions at CERN or in other collaborating institutes.
Applications should be submitted preferably before September 10th 2025. Later applications will be considered the positions is filled. Applicants should provide a curriculum vitae, a list of publications and a brief description of their research interests, as well as arrange for three recommendation letters to be submitted.
