Post-doctoral research opportunity at SMU on the ATLAS experiment

I am pleased to announce my very first search for a post-doctoral researcher. The links to the official advertisement are at the bottom of this announcement [1], and the text of the advertisement is reproduced here. As a new faculty member at SMU, and as a new member of the established SMU ATLAS group, this is a very exciting moment for me. The opportunity to do great research and discover deep meaning in the structure of the universe has never been greater. At this new energy frontier, I look forward to working with a post-doc on the great questions surrounding the cosmos, particularly regarding the nature of dark matter, and to contributing to the development and well-being of the ATLAS experiment during operations. I welcome all interested people to contact me about this opportunity.
