Open Positions at CLASSE (CHESS, LEPP, and CESR)

Postdoctoral Associate - CMS Group

A postdoctoral associate is sought for collaborative work in the Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics (LEPP), a part of the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) at Cornell University. The successful candidate will work on the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The Cornell CMS group has a broad involvement in many aspects of the experiment, from data analysis to detector operations and high luminosity detector upgrades (HL-LHC) of the pixel forward detector and the track trigger. The successful candidate will actively engage in searches for long-lived particles with displaced vertices and contribute to one of the HL-LHC upgrade projects at Cornell University with preference towards the pixel forward detector upgrade.

Postdoctoral Associate - Theoretical Particle Physics

The Cornell University’s Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) invites applications for a postdoctoral associate position in the theoretical particle physics group, with a focus on research in string theory, quantum gravity, or AdS/CFT, broadly defined. The successful candidate will conduct research in one or more of these areas and collaborate with other members of the theory group. Research topics in the theoretical particle physics group include string theory, quantum gravity, quantum field theory, cosmology, electroweak symmetry breaking, collider physics, flavor physics, particle physics beyond the standard model, and more. Research on string theory and quantum gravity is led by faculty members Tom Hartman and Liam McAllister and includes a dynamic team of postdoctoral researchers and students.
