Job Details

This position is intended for physics students at Sam Houston State University interested in participating in theoretical high-energy physics research under Professors Shepherd and Walker. Research focuses on collider phenomenology, involving computer simulations of particle collisions relevant to the Large Hadron Collider. Students will work with simulated data to study potential signals of new physics, analyze backgrounds, and interpret results using statistical and graphical methods while gaining foundational experience with modern particle physics research techniques. Other Requirements for the Position Due to the long time required to educate a new research assistant, candidates must be at least one year (two semesters) away from graduation and must commit to staying with the project until the time of their graduation. It is a goal of this project to develop publishable research results with student co-authors, although this depends very much upon the initiative and quality of the...Physics, Research, Astronomy, Student, Graduate, Employee, Education
