12-October-2026: Expressions of Interest sought for an ICREA Senior Position 2027 at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB)
Postdoctoral researcher position in experimental nuclear physics at Central Michigan University
26 October 2026
The Nuclear Physics and Fundamental Symmetries group at Central Michigan University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher position in experimental nuclear physics. The group performs research in low-energy nuclear physics to address questions in nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure and reactions, and in fundamental symmetries. It leads research programs at US and international particle accelerator laboratories, with a strong emphasis on experiments at the nearby Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Activities carried out locally at CMU include the development and characterization of radiation detectors and precision mass measurements with the CHIP-TRAP Penning trap.
The selected candidate will be focused on the program of precision mass measurements at FRIB led by Profs. Alfredo Estrade and Matthew Redshaw. They include time-of-flight mass measurements with the S800 spectrometer, and Penning trap measurements with the LEBIT facility. As a postdoctoral researcher you will be expected to take a leading role in planning and running experiments at FRIB. You can also be involved in projects to develop nuclear physics instrumentation, such as ion beam tracking detectors and instrumentation for ion traps.
Review of candidates will begin on November 10th and will continue until the position is filled, with a possible start date as soon as November 2026. Apply to the position through the following link: https://www.jobs.cmich.edu/postings/45566
Please direct questions about the position to Dr. Alfredo Estrade, estra1a@cmich.edu or Dr. Matthew Redshaw, redsh1m@cmich.edu

Postdoctoral Position in Ab Initio Nuclear Theory at INFN Milan – Deadline November 12, 2026
16 October 2026
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring your attention to a two-year postdoctoral opening in theoretical nuclear physics at the INFN Section of Milan, Italy, with an expected starting date in 2027.
The position will focus on the development of advanced ab initio nuclear many-body methods, with particular emphasis on nuclear response functions, charge-exchange excitations, and double-beta decay. The research program includes the development of novel approaches combining Algebraic Diagrammatic Construction (ADC) techniques with particle-vibration coupling, aiming at improved microscopic descriptions of nuclear excitations and, ultimately, neutrinoless double-beta decay matrix elements.
The successful candidate will join the nuclear theory group in Milan, with opportunities to participate in our broader research activities, pursue independent scientific interests, and develop new collaborations.
We welcome applications from talented and motivated researchers with a background in nuclear many-body theory, ab initio methods, or related areas of theoretical physics.
As the Italian/INFN recruitment procedure may be unfamiliar to international applicants, interested candidates are warmly encouraged to contact Carlo Barbieri (carlo.barbieri@mi.infn.it) or Gianluca Colò (colo.@mi.infn.it) directly for any enquiry about the scientific program or for assistance with the application procedure.
We would be grateful if you could circulate this announcement among potentially interested candidates.
Best regards,
Carlo Barbieri, Gianluca Colò

Expressions of Interest sought for an ICREA Senior Position 2027 at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB)
12 October 2026
Dear nuclear physics colleagues,
We would like to bring to your attention an opportunity at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB). Our Institute, a nationally recognized María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence in one of Europe's most dynamic cities, is inviting outstanding senior researchers to join our academic community through the ICREA programme (https://www.icrea.cat/icrea-call).
We are now looking for Expressions of Interest to this programme and we would welcome both theoretical and experimental profiles in nuclear physics.
We attach to this email a document with details on this process, summarised here:
• Expressions of Interest: established researchers in Experimental Sciences with a strong international track record (typically 10+ years post-PhD experience). Applications from women are especially encouraged.
• Research Focus: ICCUB hosts interdisciplinary fundamental research spanning nuclear physics, particle physics, quantum physics, cosmology, and high-energy astrophysics.
• Position Details: Permanent, full-time tenured positions as ICREA Research Professors based at ICCUB in Catalonia, Spain.
• Deadline for ICCUB Endorsement: November 1, 2026 for full consideration.
To apply, interested candidates must first contact a permanent ICCUB staff member as an internal sponsor. Javier Menéndez, Xavier Roca-Maza or Arnau Rios would be happy to assist in the process for experts in nuclear physics.
The ICCUB search committee will then evaluate proposals and reach a decision by the end of the year. More details on the pre-selection process and research areas are available in the attached document or https://inspirehep.net/jobs/3210713.
With best regards,
Dr Arnau Rios Huguet, on behalf of the Nuclear Theory Group
