Postdoctoral Researcher (M/F)

Job Description

Missions

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in lattice QCD and its applications to phenomenology. The fellow will be expected
to collaborate closely with CPT's Particle Theory team on projects aimed at improving our understanding of hadrons' structure. The main focus of
the position would be to carry out lattice QCD simulations and perform the subsequent data analysis needed for the extraction of parton
distributions. Moreover, the fellow will be expected to participate more widely in the activities of the Particle Theory team, as well as those of
CPT.

Activity

The projects will involve a variety of activities. These include among others: running large scale simulations in order to
compute the building blocks of the necessary correlation functions that need to be computed. Data analysis for the extraction of the key matrix
elements as well as the necessary post processing that leads to the final results of light cone distributions. Close collaboration with our
collaborators in France (CEA, Saclay) as well abroad (College of William & Mary and JLAB, USA) is also expected as well as participation in the
sharing of the results with the scientific community and more widely, when relevant.

Your Profil

Skills

*) Good working knowledge of theoretical hadronic/nuclear/particle physics and lattice field theory
*) Independence and ability to collaborate productively
*) Strong written and oral communication skills
*) Strong programming skills (C, C++, Python, bash etc.)

Your Work Environment

The work will take place in CPT's Particle Theory team of which the lattice QCD group is part. The latter consists of three permanent staff
(Antoine Gérardin, Laurent Lellouch, Savvas Zafeiropoulos), five postdoctoral fellows and two PhD students. The wider Particle Physics team
also has as members Aoife Bharucha, Jérôme Charles and Marc Knecht.
The position is funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR). The lattice work will be performed in the context of the Hadstruc
collaboration.
The Centre de Physique Théorique (CPT) is a research unit with about 60 permanent staff and around 40 PhD students and postdoctoral fellows
performing theoretical research in a wide variety of fields. Aix-Marseille U. also has strong research units in experimental particle physics
(CPPM) and in astrophysics, cosmology and astroparticle physics (CPPM, LAM).
