Scientist on ATLAS Experiment
About The Position
The Omega Group in the Physics Department at BNL focuses on the ATLAS experiment at CERN and on development for future collider experiments. The Omega Group has major responsibilities in the operation of the Liquid Argon calorimeter, Trigger & Data Acquisition, and Computing & 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 R&D programs in artificial intelligence, silicon detectors, noble liquid calorimetry, 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. The Omega Group in the Physics Department has two openings for scientists to lead efforts on the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The successful candidates will also contribute to the development of future collider experiments, such as at the Future Circular Collider (FCC). We are looking for applicants with a proven track record in the collider scientific program, particularly in leadership roles involving operations, computing, artificial intelligence, and detectors. This position has a high level of interaction with an international and multicultural scientific community, requiring strong collaborative and communication skills and the ability to mentor junior staff. Candidates will be expected to explore future physics initiatives and participate in broader scientific outreach.
