Postdoctoral Research Associate - Physics and Applied Physics at the University of Massachusetts Lowell

The Department of Physics and Applied Physics at the University of Massachusetts Lowell invites applications for an immediate postdoctoral research associate position in experimental nuclear physics. The postdoctoral researcher will play a leading role in a DOE-funded nuclear physics program involving research at major national user facilities and at the UMass Lowell Radiation Laboratory. Relevant research areas include nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, detector development, and related experimental programs using advanced radiation-detection instrumentation, including emerging scintillators and segmented HPGe detectors. We seek candidates who are interested in taking on significant roles in ongoing experimental programs while also developing and pursuing their own research interests.

The application process is fully online (Job No. 530224 at https://careers.pageuppeople.com/822/lowell/en-us/job/530224/postdoctoral-research-associate-in-experimental-nuclear-physics)

Please include a cover letter and CV with names and contact information of three references. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled; however, the posting may close when an adequate number of qualified applications is received.

For more information about the opportunities, contact Professor Andrew Rogers (Andrew_Rogers@uml.edu).

FRIB Theory Fellow Position

The FRIB Theory Alliance is seeking outstanding candidates for an FRIB Theory Fellow. The fellow will be hosted by the partner institution, Argonne National Laboratory. The successful candidate will conduct independent and/or collaborative research on theoretical nuclear structure, reactions, astrophysics, and/or fundamental symmetries relevant to the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). The FRIB Theory Alliance is a consortium of universities and national laboratories actively engaged in theoretical research in FRIB science. FRIB is a national user facility for nuclear science, funded by the DOE Office of Science and operated by Michigan State University.

The FRIB Theory Fellow is a one-year appointment with the possibility of annual renewal for a maximum of five years. The initial stipend is $90k and this position has an annual travel budget of up to $5k. Additional funds will be provided for travel to FRIB. The FRIB Theory Fellow will be an employee of Michigan State University. A PhD in Physics is a minimum requirement to be appointed to this position; candidates must either hold a PhD or be on track to successfully complete their PhD before the start of the fellowship in 2027. The successful candidate must demonstrate great promise for high achievement in theoretical research relevant to FRIB science. Past fellows have a track record of moving directly into open faculty or permanent staff positions.

Please apply at Academic Jobs Online https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/32582. The application deadline is October 12th, 2026. Three reference letters are also due by this date. If you have any questions, please contact the search committee Chair Ingo Tews (itews@lanl.gov). The designated local host at Argonne National Laboratory is Anna McCoy (amccoy@anl.gov).
