The LHCb Group in the Department of Physics within the University of Cincinnati’s College of Arts & Sciences invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position whose primary responsibilities will be (i) data analysis and (ii) software development & maintenance as part of LHCb's RTA Project (Real Time Analysis). It is anticipated that the selected candidate will be based at CERN.

Faculty research directions within the LHCb Group at the University of Cincinnati include studies of flavor physics (b- and charmed-hadron physics), exotica, QCD, and electro-weak physics. A recent Postdoctoral Research Fellow also took a leading role in LHCb's heavy ion program. The selected candidate will be expected to make substantial contributions to research in flavor physics and to the RTA project.
