Ph.D Positions on ATLAS
The Department of Physics at the
University of Regina invites applicants for graduate studies leading to
the Ph.D. degree in experimental high energy physics. The successful
candidates will join our efforts on the ATLAS experiment at the Large
Hadron Collider at CERN.
The emphases of our department are nuclear, particle and high energy
physics. As a result of this deliberate selection and focusing of
efforts, we are able to ensure that each student receives the best
possible education, and faculty are able to provide personalized
instruction in an encouraging and productive environment. We offer the
M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. Faculty members and graduate students pursue
their research locally, and at locations elsewhere in Canada, the
United States, Europe and Japan. The department is an associate member
of the TRIUMF subatomic physics laboratory in Vancouver, is an
institutional member of the Institute of Particle Physics in Canada,
and has a close relationship with the Jefferson Laboratory in Newport
News, Virginia, USA. Presently, we are joining the ATLAS experiment at
the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
The current interests of the ATLAS Regina group include searches for
new physics beyond the standard model, such as supersymmetry and
extra-dimensions, higgs searches, algorithms for particle
identification, Grid computing, calibration of ATLAS electromagnetic
calorimeter, and software development for the high level trigger.
Students interested in joining the ATLAS group in Regina should contact
Prof. Kamal Benslama at: kamal.benslama@cern.ch.
A summary (1 to 2 pages) of the research experience must be enclosed
with the applications. We anticipate that the Ph.D. positions on ATLAS
will involve frequent travel to and/or extended stay at CERN in Geneva,
Switzerland.
The deadline for the January admission is 15 August 2006. Formal
applications for graduate studies at the University of Regina should be
sent to:
