Overview
Join the University of Cambridge as a Research Assistant/Associate in High Energy Physics Theory. The role focuses on developing cutting‑edge, high‑precision calculations in the Standard Model for LHC phenomenology and future colliders.
Responsibilities
- Develop and/or use high‑precision calculations for LHC processes (NLO, NNLO, N3LO).
- Calculate multiloop/multileg amplitudes and match parton showers with higher‑order calculations.
- Perform heavy flavour physics calculations.
- Collaborate with a team, publish results, and contribute to the department’s research agenda.
Qualifications
- PhD in Theoretical Physics (or close to obtaining) with a proven track record in precision calculations for hadron colliders.
- Experience in NLO, NNLO, or N3LO calculations, multiloop/multileg amplitude calculations, and matching parton showers with higher‐order calculations.
- Solid computational skills and strong organisational, communication, and team‑working skills.
- Publications in major journals demonstrating expertise.
Application Process
Please upload your CV, a list of publications, a covering letter, and a 2‑4 page summary of your research interests and future plans. Provide the contact details of at least two referees. Submit before the closing date. Use reference KA48061 on all correspondence.
Contact
Informal enquiries are welcomed and should be directed to Professor Alex Mitov at adm74@cam.ac.uk.
