The Omega Group in the Physics Department has an opening for a postdoc to join in the development of new detector technologies featuring silicon carbide. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to the study of Electroweak and Higgs physics on ATLAS and for future collider experiments. Applicants should have a strong interest in and experience with detector R&D for the collider scientific program.

This position has a high level of interaction with an international and multicultural scientific community.

The Omega Group in the Physics Department at BNL focuses on the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The Omega Group has major responsibilities in the operation of the Liquid Argon calorimeter, Trigger & Data Acquisition, and software development, and has leading roles in the ATLAS High Luminosity Large-Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade (Silicon Strip detector, Liquid Argon calorimeter, and Trigger & Data Acquisition).

The group also has strong detector R&D programs on silicon detectors and in trigger/data acquisition. BNL serves as the host laboratory for the U.S. ATLAS Operations Program, the U.S. ATLAS HL-LHC Upgrade Project, the ATLAS Tier-1 computing facility, and is an active U.S. ATLAS Center.
