Join our welcoming and supportive NYU Experimental Particle Physics group. We seek creative and self-driven individuals from wide-ranging backgrounds to lead exciting research that advance your careers. You will be mentored not just by our friendly NYU group but also welcomed by collaborators in the vibrant global research community.
Fellowship opportunity: outstanding graduate students are encouraged to ask their advisor to submit a nomination for the Simons Society of Fellows Junior Fellowship by September 9, 2025, and contact an NYU faculty member to be the host mentor. The NYU ATLAS group is especially excited to host fellows pursuing their own research agenda supported by this unique program based in New York City.
Postdoctoral research positions in the NYU Experimental Particle Physics group are periodically advertised on the department Job Announcements webpage based on availability of grant funding.
January 2025 (Applications closed): Postdoctoral Associate position open. Interests in ATLAS tau-lepton electromagnetic dipoles and/or Inner Tracker are especially encouraged.
Prospective students: please apply via the NYU Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Admissions by the late December deadline. The admissions committee looks favourably at students with experience and interest in both analysis and hands-on hardware research.
Current and admitted students: those interested in ATLAS should contact me to discuss projects. An ATLAS PhD comprises two parts: (i) detector physics project to qualify you as an ATLAS author, and (ii) analysis of LHC collision data to measure fundamental parameters and/or search for new physics.
Prospective and admitted students interested in our group are strongly encouraged to apply to these external fellowships, which are excellent ways to independently support your graduate research:
- National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)
- National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship Program
- American Association of University Women (AAUW) Fellowships
- Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans
- Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program
- GEM Fellowship Program
- Fulbright Foreign Student Program
Do prepare these applications early in the Summer as deadlines are often early Fall.
Prospective students apply via NYU Undergraduate Admissions for the College of Arts and Sciences.
Current students interested in our group are encouraged to apply to the Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund for financial support.
