About SMU
SMU's more than 12,000 diverse, high-achieving students come from
all 50 states and over 80 countries to take advantage of the
University's small classes, meaningful research opportunities,
leadership development, community service, international study and
innovative programs.
SMU serves approximately 7,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduate
students through eight degree-granting schools: Dedman College of
Humanities and Sciences, Cox School of Business, Lyle School of
Engineering, Meadows School of the Arts, Simmons School of
Education and Human Development, Dedman School of Law, Perkins
School of Theology and Moody School of Graduate and Advanced
Studies.
SMU is data driven, and its powerful supercomputing ecosystem -
paired with entrepreneurial drive - creates an unrivaled
environment for the University to deliver research excellence.
Now in its second century of achievement, SMU is recognized for the
ways it supports students, faculty and alumni as they become
ethical, enterprising leaders in their professions and communities.
SMU's relationship with Dallas - the dynamic center of one of the
nation's fastest-growing regions - offers unique learning,
research, social and career opportunities that provide a launch pad
for global impact.
SMU is nonsectarian in its teaching and committed to academic
freedom and open inquiry.
About the Department:
The Physics Department at SMU is an intellectually dynamic
community covering a broad range of fundamental physics research.
Our theoretical particle physics activities include perturbative
and non-perturbative QCD, proton and hadron structure, beyond the
standard model phenomenology, medium energy nuclear and heavy ion
physics, and nuclear astrophysics. Our theory faculty engage in
major international collaborations with CTEQ, ATLAS, and the future
EIC. We have a vibrant experimental high energy physics group
focused on Higgs physics and searches for new physics on ATLAS. We
have a state-of-the-art lab that supports key roles in particle
physics instrumentation and R&D, including readout
opto-electronics for LHC experiments. Our cosmology and
astrophysics program includes key theoretical and
observational/experimental efforts in several international
collaborations, including LSST, DESI, Simons Observatory, CMB-S4,
and COMAP. We focus on the study of the cosmic expansion history,
large-scale structure, and galaxy formation, which includes galaxy
clusters, gravitational lensing, cosmic microwave background,
line-intensity mapping, and supernova programs, in addition to
detector R&D. We have strong computing support, with access to
SMU's ManeFrame III high-performance computing cluster, and one of
the only two DGX SuperPODs in U.S. academia.
About the Position:
This role is an on-campus, in-person position.
This position will continue the effort in the international ATLAS
Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider, working on detector
upgrade development in Dr. Deiana's lab. The detector upgrades are
to enable successful running of the high-luminosity LHC project,
which will be used for cutting-edge high energy particle physics
research. Her lab has responsibilities in several subsystems,
including firmware for readout electronics for the liquid argon
calorimeter and firmware development for the global trigger. The
filling of this position is critical for the success of the
project. The engineer will also work with post-docs and graduate
students in the lab, thus also providing the opportunity for
students to learn skills in detector development.
This position is contingent on grant or external funding.
