Opportunities

Engineers

We are seeking for 1-2 electrical/electronics engineers to work on the CMS endcap timing layer upgrade project, as well as other projects the Rice University is participating in: https://inspirehep.net/jobs/2157195. Initially, we are particularly interested in candidates with strong skills in schematic capture and PCB layout design, and/or power distribution. Please feel free to contact Prof. Li by email if interested.

Research Scientists/Postdoc Fellows

We don’t have an active postdoc opening at this moment. Strong candidates who may be interested in future opportunities are encouraged to apply to the Rice Academy of Fellow (RAF) Program. Competition for 2025 RAF will be open in December 2024. The RAF is a university-wide postdoctoral program to support exceptional scholars to pursue independent research in collaboration with Rice faculty. Please contact me by email if interested.

Graduate Students

Graduate RA positions are available for the Fall 2025 class. If you are interested, please follow the application procedure at https://physics.rice.edu/how-apply. Make sure you indicate your primary area of interest is nuclear and particle physics, and mention my name in your application materials. If you are already admitted to Rice, feel free to contact Prof. Li by email.

Undergraduate Students

Various projects in nuclear particle physics, accelerator physics, quantum computing and simulation are available for highly motivated undergraduate students at Rice University at all levels. Some basic knowledge in modern physics and programming language (C++, python) is desirable but not required. If you are interested, please contact Prof. Li by email.
