**Postdoctoral Research Associate on the LHCb Experiment**

**UE07 £37,099 - £44,263 Per Annum**

**College of Science and Engineering / The School of Physics and Astronomy / Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics**

**Fixed Term, Initial duration of 2 years, with the potential for extension**

**Full time (35 hours per week)**

The experimental particle physics group (PPE) at the University of Edinburgh has a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to strengthen our activities on the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. This position is funded by a Royal Society research grant, and will focus on radiative and/or multibody decays of charmed hadrons.

**The Opportunity**:
You will be expected to make leading contributions to our physics analysis activities, such as the study of radiative or multibody decays of charmed hadrons, and to contribute towards the group’s activities in cutting edge instrumentation and/or software.

The Edinburgh LHCb group has made substantial contributions to the study of CP violation and lifetimes in the B meson system, spectroscopy and exotic states, heavy quark production, flavour changing neutral currents, charmless semileptonic decays, charm mixing and CP violation. We are also active in studies of precision electroweak physics and rare decays of B-hadrons. We have significant responsibilities in the LHCb collaboration such as maintenance and operation of the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors, as well as R&D towards future detectors (RICH, TORCH, Mighty Tracker). We are also involved within the Real-Time-Analysis (RTA) and Data Processing and Analysis (DPA) projects.

**Your skills and attributes for success**:

- You should have/be about to submit a PhD or equivalent qualification in particle physics.
- You will have proven expertise and technical abilities required for playing a leading role in particle physics data analysis.
