Application deadline: 29 November 2024
WITS is offering postdoctoral fellowships through a competitive selection process and, in this call, is seeking a candidate with a doctoral degree completed no earlier than 2020. The ideal candidate should have a background in experimental high-energy physics and computing, although those with expertise in related fields with an interest in experimental particle physics will also be considered. The successful candidate will join the ATLAS experiment and travel to CERN, supported by the SA-CERN consortium. Research focus areas include dark matter searches in novel final states, anomaly detection, and improving Monte Carlo-based simulation programmes. A special emphasis will be placed on developing sustainable computing methods for particle physics.
To ensure adequate time to prepare applications for the WITS deadline of 6 December, expressions of interest should be submitted as soon as possible, and by 29 November latest. Please email your CV and a brief paragraph explaining your interest to deepak.kar@cern.ch.
