About The Position
The Department of Physics at Baylor University is seeking applications for a tenure-track position in experimental high energy physics at the Assistant Professor rank, set to commence in August 2025. This position is an exciting opportunity for candidates who are passionate about experimental high energy physics and are eager to contribute to the ongoing research efforts at Baylor University. The successful candidate will join a dynamic group of faculty members who are actively involved in the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, a leading facility in the field of particle physics. The Baylor experimental high energy physics group plays a crucial role in various aspects of the CMS experiment, including the operation of the recently upgraded hadron calorimeter and the Phase 2 upgrade of the endcap calorimeter. The group is also engaged in optimizing the trigger system and enhancing particle flow reconstruction techniques. Current research efforts focus on searching for rare Higgs decays, exploring supersymmetry, and investigating other new phenomena, as well as conducting measurements of rare standard model processes. Furthermore, the group is involved in planning for future collider projects, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of experimental high energy physics research. A significant aspect of the group's research involves the application of machine learning techniques for data analysis, reflecting the modern approach to tackling complex problems in physics. Candidates for this position must possess a Ph.D. in experimental high energy physics and demonstrate substantial research experience in the field. The ideal candidate will have a well-developed research trajectory and a proven ability to collaborate effectively in both small and large group settings. In addition to research responsibilities, the successful candidate will be expected to secure external funding to support their research program. Teaching responsibilities will include instructing undergraduate and graduate students, supervising and mentoring research students and postdoctoral researchers, and contributing to the service of the university and the broader physics community. This position offers a unique opportunity to engage in impactful research and education in a supportive and collaborative environment.
