Research Scientists for Experimental Particle Physics
The Collaborative Innovation Center for Particles and Interactions (CICPI) at the
University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) invites applications for two
research scientist positions. The positions are for three years with a possibility of
further extension to another three years, or even being promoted to tenured positons,
depending on their research and professional performance. The applicants should
have a Ph.D in physics, a demonstrated record of accomplishment in research as
evidenced by an ongoing research program, and a publication record that provides
evidence of outstanding creativity.
CICPI at USTC is one of the leading research centers in China for experimental
particle and nuclear physics. The center hosts several research groups in experimental
particle and nuclear physics and theoretical nuclear physics. We have the National
Key Laboratory for Particle Detection and Electronics supported by the Ministry of
Science and Technology of China. Our research programs include both domestic
projects in China and several large international collaborative projects. These projects
are the BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider in Beijing, the
Daya Bay nuclear reactor neutrino experiment, the LHAASO project, the DAMPE
space dark matter search experiment, the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron
Collider at CERN, the Belle and BelleII experiment at KEK, the STAR experiment at
BNL, the JLAB 12 GeV upgrade program, and the development of positron beam and
muon beam at Chinese Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). There are also detector
R&D for future accelerator and non-accelerator based experiments. The research
fields of theoretical physics are mainly in phenomenology of particle physics and high
energy nuclear physics.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions
are filled. Candidates with research interests in these projects and fields are
encouraged to apply. Interested applicants are required to submit their applications
with curriculum vitae, a list of publication and research interests to Prof. Qun Wang
(qunwang@ustc.edu.cn) and copy to Prof. Zheng-guo Zhao (zhaozg@ustc.edu.cn)
with s subject title ‘Research Scientists at USTC’. In the list of publications,
applicants should identify up to 3 most relevant ones and provide a short description
of their role. Applicants should further arrange for at least three recommendation
letters to be sent to the above email address.
