UNIRIB / ORAU Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics Decay Spectroscopy

Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) invites applications for one postdoctoral position in the University Radioactive Ion Beam Consortium. The UNIRIB Consortium is a collaboration of a number of universities which work together to perform nuclear decay spectroscopy research. This consortium primarily carries out decay spectroscopy experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF). A wide variety of state-of-art detector systems are used. In addition, the consortium is currently completing an ultra high resolution separator (M / dM ~ 400,000) [Oak Ridge Isomer Spectrometer and Separator (ORISS)] allowing the separation and study of any isobar as well as some isomers. In collaboration with the HRIBF, a Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer is being built and will be utilized with ORISS. UNIRIB has an immediate opening for a two-year position as a postdoctoral researcher, to be stationed at the HRIBF, who will perform decay spectroscopy experiments in collaboration with UNIRIB researchers. The successful candidate will carry out research as part of the UNIRIB consortium and will be expected to develop and propose new experiments. A special emphasis will be on designing experiments for the ORISS system that will take advantage of the exceptional resolving power.

The position will remain open until an outstanding candidate is found.

Interested applicants should complete an application found at:
www.orau.org/documents/unirib/unirib-application-2010.doc

Questions concerning the positions should be directed to either:

Dr. H. K. Carter (ken.carter at orau.org)
Dr. J. A. Winger (j.a.winger at msstate.edu.)

Postdoctoral Position in Precision Low-Energy Weak-Interaction Physics, Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M Univ.

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION. The Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position in experimental nuclear physics, with a starting date of summer or early fall of 2009. The successful candidate will work in the research group of Prof. John Hardy, who currently focuses on high-precision measurements that test the electroweak standard model and other related physics. The Cyclotron Institute is based on a K500 superconducting cyclotron, a conventional K150 cyclotron and a number of major experimental facilities: the MDM high-resolution broad-range spectrometer; NIMROD, a 4π neutron and charged-particle detection system; BIG SOL, a large-acceptance superconducting solenoid magnet; FAUST, a forward array; MARS, a recoil mass spectrometer; a fast tape-transport and precision-decay facility; and a radiation-effects facility, which is available for commercial use. The facility currently provides light- and heavy-ion beams over a broad energy range, and also offers some low-intensity beams of radioactive ions. The facility is currently being upgraded so that in future a wider variety of more intense radioactive beams will become available.

Interested candidates with a recent Ph.D. in nuclear physics (or a related field) are encouraged to submit a curriculum vitae, including the contact information for three references, to Prof. J.C. Hardy, Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-3366 or via e-mail (hardy@comp.tamu.edu). Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. Texas A&M University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer that is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty and staff who are committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment. We strongly encourage applications from women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
