The Edinburgh Particle Physics Experiment (PPE) group is excited to be able to offer several postdoctoral researcher positions thanks to its successes in obtaining STFC funding to aid exploitation of existing and construction of future experiments. We are a rapidly expanding and dynamic group of physicists, holding substantial roles across the ATLAS, DUNE, LHCb, LZ, SBND, MicroBooNE, SuperNEMO and DarkSide-20k experiments. We have a lively research atmosphere where novel analysis ideas are fostered, alongside our long-standing expertise and commitments to analysis, software, hardware, outreach and impact activities

**The Opportunity**:
Your developments will contribute to analysing or recording LHC data in novel ways, opening up new phase space, with an emphasis on model-independent methods, to characterise new regions of data.

Our ATLAS group has strategic leadership roles in both physics analysis and operations. We make precision measurements in Higgs and Top physics, and search for potential new particles and forces including SUSY, dark matter, long-lived particles including a dedicated ERC funded effort on third generation LLPs, and new gauge particles. We have major roles in performance, simulation and trigger. For ATLAS upgrade, we have significant roles in Inner Tracker (ITk), including the layout, design and physics performance, as well as pixel services design and assembly, pixel module construction and testing. In addition, we have substantial contribution in software & computing for performance, simulation and trigger. The group is led by 5 academics and 3 senior researchers. In addition to 6 postdoctoral research associates, 12 PhD students, 2 engineers and 2 technicians.

**Your skills and attributes for success**:

- Possess, or be about to obtain a PhD in Experimental Particle Physics
- Proven track record of performing high quality research in experimental particle physics
- Good working knowledge of Python and C++ programming languages
- Ability to self-motivate and work independently
- Ability to work as part of a team while showing leadership and initiative
