The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) invites applications for postdoctoral positions in AI4HEP (Artificial Intelligence for High Energy Physics) under the Experimental Physics Division and Computing Center.

About AI4HEP

AI4HEP is a cutting-edge interdisciplinary research field integrating advanced AI technologies into high-energy physics experiments. This innovative direction aims to enhance data processing efficiency and accuracy in HEP experiments. AI4HEP activities at IHEP are supported by several major international scientific facilities, including:

l  The Beijing Electron-Positron Collider II / Beijing Spectrometer III (BEPCII/BESIII)

l  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

l  The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO)

l  The High Energy Photon Source (HEPS)

l  The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS)

Development Policy

Our objective is to nurture postdoctoral researchers into specialists within specific AI4HEP domains. At the end of the initial 2-year contract, there may be opportunities for successful candidates to remain at IHEP as faculty or join collaborative international research institutions.
