Opportunities for Students and Postdocs

Fellowships, Postdocs

We are actively involved in a variety of ATLAS physics studies and welcome applicants for fellowships in this area. For more information please see job vacancies in the Oxford Particle Physics department. For more information please contact Sue Geddes.

Graduate students

As the ATLAS detector is being completed and first proton-proton collisions are expected for 2009, the Oxford physics program is focussing on data exploitation. This is the right time to join ATLAS and to take part in the exciting new era of physics beyond the TeV energy scale. Please visit our group's activity webpage to see a selection of projects you could work on.

Students are expected to tackle a physics analysis topic and contributing to, a detector performance, hardware or computing project. The detector performance, hardware and computing tasks are part of the ATLAS service work everyone needs to take on in order to become part of the ATLAS authorlist.

PhD students work in small friendly teams, take responsibility for projects and detectors, gain visibility in ATLAS, have long-term stays at CERN and take part in data-taking shifts at the ATLAS detector.

Inquiries

Inquiries about ATLAS physics at Oxford may be directed in the first instance to Dr Alan Barr, Dr C. Issever, Dr Jeff Tseng and Dr Tony Weidberg. More general questions about graduate student in the Subdepartment of Particle Physics may be directed to Dr Todd Huffman. Departmental information regarding graduate admissions and how to apply can be found on the Post-graduate Physics Degrees page.
