| The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking a staff scientist in
elementary particle theory with a strong background in computational
collider phenomenology. Depending on the candidate's experience and
qualifications, the appointment will be at either at the Staff Scientist
level (a continuing appointment), or at the Associate Staff Scientist
level (3-5 year entry-level term position, leading to possible promotion
to Staff Scientist). The successful candidate would be expected to pursue
a strong and independent program of forefront research in elementary
particle theory within the Theory Group in the Particle Physics &
Astrophysics Department at SLAC. He or she would also play a key role in
the construction, improvement, extension, and user support of the BlackHat
C++ library for computing one-loop amplitudes for collider applications, as well
as interfacing BlackHat to frameworks for producing state-of-the-art
next-to-leading QCD cross sections at the parton level and eventually the
hadron level.
The SLAC Theory Group conducts theoretical research on the
fundamental nature of elementary particles and their interactions.
Although members of the group have an extremely broad range of interests,
including string theory, cosmology, condensed matter applications of
field theory methods, B physics, nonperturbative methods and phenomena in
QCD, a great deal of our current research is focused on collider
phenomenology, and physics at the LHC in particular. The group interacts
closely with experimenters, with a particular focus on physics
opportunities at the LHC experiments.
Applications should include CV, a statement of research interests, a
publication list and the names of three senior physicists who will provide
letters of recommendation. As a part of these materials, applicants
should include a brief summary of how the candidate's experience
matches the position described above. Applicants are also encouraged
to include a brief narrative description of their plans and ambitions for
the future and how those plans might be realized at SLAC.
Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to
increasing the diversity of its staff. It welcomes nominations of and
applications from women and members of minority groups, as well as others
who would bring additional dimensions to the university's research and
teaching missions.
We should receive your application before November 1, 2010.
