The candidate is expected to take a leading role in data analysis within ATLAS Heavy Ions and to make technical contributions to the overall experimental effort. Furthermore, the candidate may potentially be involved in aspects of the detector development and simulations effort within sPHENIX. Candidates should have some interest in photon-, jet-, and heavy flavor- based probes of the quark-gluon plasma in LHC Run 2 data, but could also be interested in hard probes of, or collectivity in, small or ultra-peripheral collision systems. The position is initially for two years, to be started in late 2016 or early 2017. The candidate will be based in Boulder, Colorado with travel to CERN and BNL as appropriate. Applicants will be considered until the position is filled. For full consideration, send materials by October 15th, 2016.
