Postdoctoral Appointee - AI/ML and ATLAS

The High Energy Physics (HEP) Division at Argonne National Laboratory invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the ANL ATLAS group with a focus on physics analysis and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). The successful candidate will contribute to the group’s broad physics program, which includes precision Higgs and Standard Model measurements, and searches for new physics and performance studies. Candidates with experience in modern AI/ML methods—such as transformer architectures, tokenization strategies, and embeddings—are especially encouraged to apply.

The ANL ATLAS group maintains strong involvement across the experiment, including detector operations, TDAQ upgrades, Software and Computing, ML development, and High-Performance Computing (HPC). The postdoctoral researcher will have opportunities to engage in these areas in support of physics goals.
