Job description:
Applications are invited for two permanent academic positions at Manchester in Particle Physics on the LHCb experiment. The positions may be appointed at the Assistant Professor (Lecturer) or Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) level. Should you wish to be considered at both levels applications need to be submitted for both adverts.

We are seeking to appoint a particle physicist with an excellent track record of research and publications. You are invited to bring and lead your own distinctive research programme with a primary LHCb related focus. The group is amongst the largest on LHCb and is currently active in multiple physics working groups, on the VELO Upgrade I and the real time analysis project. The group expects to make a major contribution to the construction of the LHCb Upgrade II Mighty Tracker CMOS detector.
At Manchester, you will join the Particle Physics Group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. In addition to our activities on LHCb, the group plays a major role in international experiments at the Energy Frontier (ATLAS, FCC, FASER), in Flavour Physics (BES-III, g-2, Mu2e), in Neutrino Physics (DUNE, MicroBooNE, SBND, SuperNemo, NEXT), and in direct Dark Matter detection (DarkSide-50, DarkSide-20k). In each of these areas, we are fully involved in the experiments, from design and construction, through data acquisition and operation, to detector performance and physics exploitation. We also play a leading role in the proposed upgrades to each of the experiments. The theoretical side of the group has an international reputation for its work on phenomenology at high-energy colliders, in Quantum Chromodynamics, neutrino and Higgs Physics, CP violation, supersymmetry and string phenomenology, and in the physics of the early Universe.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy is one of five Departments in the School of Natural Sciences which is in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. There are 95 academic staff in the Department with expertise in areas such as condensed matter physics (which includes Prof. Andre Geim and Prof. Konstantin Novoselov who won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on graphene), atomic physics, liquid crystal physics, biological physics, accelerator physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics, astronomy, cosmology, complexity and theoretical physics. Jodrell Bank Observatory (part of Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics) also forms part of our Department. We have approximately 150 research staff, 250 PGR students and 1200 UG/PG students.
