Program Manager for Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics, Office of Nuclear Physics, Office of Science

14 March 2024

Within the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics there is an ongoing search for the Program Manager for Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics, Office of Nuclear Physics, Office of Science.

The posting for this position can be found on:

USAJOBS at: https://www.usajobs.gov/job/781111000

The Program Manager will conceive, justify, plan, initiate, manage, and coordinate all aspects of experimental nuclear structure and astrophysics research that serves the mission of the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics. Topical areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the structure of nuclei using beams of stable and rare isotopes, nuclear reaction mechanisms, and nuclear astrophysics within nuclear science. The successful candidate will work with other offices in DOE and other Federal agencies regarding connections and interfaces between the research supported within the nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics physics program and other research programs. Research aligned with this portfolio is strongly supported by two NP National User Facilities, the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System at Argonne National Laboratory and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. The portfolio also supports two university "Centers of Excellence," Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) and the Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute.

If you know members of the community who may be interested in applying for this position, please make them aware of the posting, and encourage them to apply.


Position announcement: University of Birmingham, Research Fellow in Experimental Nuclear Physics - Physics and Astronomy - Grade 7 - 100081

14 March 2024

Position Details
School of Physics and Astronomy
Location: University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham UK
Full time starting salary is normally in the range £34,980 to £44,263 with potential progression once in post to £46,974
Closing date: 25th March 2024

Role Purpose
The High-Flux Accelerator-Driven Neutron Facility (HF-ADNeF) is a national user facility funded through the NNUF (National Nuclear User Facilities) programme and has been commissioned in December 2023. Though this facility is predominantly for materials research, we have obtained funding for feasibility work towards nuclear astrophysics experiments at HF-ADNeF. This is an exciting opportunity at a world-leading facility in the UK and to work towards a future nuclear astrophysics capability using intense, reliably delivered neutron beams.
The post-holder will carry out the initial simulation and testing work required to enable the design of a modular and moveable nuclear-astrophysics end-station with neutron beams. The project is ideally suited to someone who enjoys thinking outside the box and testing innovative solutions. The post-holder will:
• be responsible for simulations of neutron collimation and radiation (neutron and gamma) shielding to allow semiconductor detectors to be used for nuclear reactions between neutron beams and thin foil targets;
• carry out initial in-beam tests of various parts of the collimator and shielding required to assess performance and iterate designs.

Neutron Scattering Instrument Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

07 March 2024

We are seeking a Neutron Scattering Instrument Scientist to join our team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the new VENUS (BL-10) time-of-flight neutron imaging beamline at the Spallation Neutron Source. VENUS is an innovative hyperspectral (i.e., wavelength-dependent) neutron imaging beamline, nearing its completion of construction. In addition to conventional neutron imaging and tomography, VENUS is designed for measuring Bragg edges and neutron resonances and is expected to support a broad spectrum of scientific investigations. As part of our imaging team, you will support the development of a strong user community and shape the scientific direction of the user program on VENUS More details about the instrument and its science impact can be found at: https://neutrons.ornl.gov/venus.
