Position OverviewThe Kansas University High Energy Physics (KUHEP) group, with support from the National Science Foundation, is seeking outstanding KU undergraduate students for research experiences. The Undergraduate Student Researcher position will start with the student's application for either summer or fall semesters, with possible continuation into future semesters, depending on funding and progress made by the student. Consideration will be given for continuing this appointment at the end of each semester, by the supervisor.
Job DescriptionThe student(s) would participate in research projects in collaboration with the KUHEP group and other US and international physicists on the CMS experiment at CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, in Geneva, Switzerland. The CMS experiment involves a large multi-purpose detector for observing the collisions of protons and ions at the Large Hadron Collider. The research projects could include several possibilities including:
25% - Preparing physics outreach materials, addressing issues with the use of semiconductor pixel and timing detectors
25% Calibration and monitoring of various CMS subdetectors
25% Analysis of data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC
25% Other duties as assigned within the collaboration
Discussions with the professor will determine the particular projects or mix of projects that they may participate in.Required Qualifications
