Doctoral scholarship in the project „Testing new theories using precise calculations of Higgs particle properties”

Doctoral scholarship
in the project „Testing new theories using precise calculations of Higgs particle properties”

Description:

Candidate is expected to participate in the realization of the project „Testing new theories using precise calculations of Higgs particle properties”, financed by the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) within the SONATA grant  number 2022/47/D/ST2/03087 (Principal Investigator dr Wojciech Kotlarski).

The candidate is expected to work on an analysis of New Physics models through the prism of Higgs bosons using state-of-the-art calculations. To that end, a potential candidate is expected to take part in automatizing calculation of higher order corrections to Higgs bosons masses and decays in an arbitrary Beyond the Standard Model model. Depending on his/her interests, the work might include a mix of tasks like: work on renormalization and treatment of infrared singularities, numerical work/programming, phenomenological analysis of BSM models. A potential candidate will contribute to the creation of a computer program that could benefit the whole particle physics community.

Place: Warsaw (Campus Ochota)
