Assistant Professor in Nuclear Physics, University of Birmingham, UK
06 February 2025
The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham seeks to appoint an Assistant Professor with strong expertise and a demonstrated scientific track record in nuclear physics, to coordinate and lead the science programme on Applied Nuclear Physics, with a particular focus on research at the School's accelerator facilities. The accelerators comprise the Birmingham MC40 Cyclotron; and the High Flux Accelerator-Driven Neutron Facility (HF-ADNeF), a new national facility that is part of the National Nuclear User Facility (NNUF) project, an important Government investment in the UK's nuclear future to provide state-of-the-art experimental facilities for research and development in nuclear science and technology.
Role specifications include the following:
• PhD in Nuclear Physics.
• Strong background in nuclear science.
• Background in accelerator-based measurements and instrumentation applicable to applied nuclear physics studies or neutron-based measurements.
• An understanding of nuclear interactions and experience in planning and implementing accelerator-based measurements, including Monte-Carlo simulations, reaction calculations, spectroscopy (i.e. charged particle, gamma or neutron detection), and awareness of material activation mechanisms and radioactive waste minimisation.
• Evidence of effectively engaging with academic and wider user communities.
• Demonstrated publication and scientific track record in a field relevant to the Applied Nuclear Physics.
Informal enquiries can be made to Professor David Evans, email: d.evans@bham.ac.uk and/or Professor Carl Wheldon, email: C.Wheldon@bham.ac.uk
