Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Department of Physics at NC State
23 October 2025
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Department of Physics at NC State to work with Gail McLaughlin and Ian Roederer on theoretical nuclear and/or neutrino astrophysics topics related to the study of the origins of the elements and chemical abundances in metal-poor stars.
The successful applicant will collaborate with colleagues at Notre Dame and MIT and will travel for at least a month each year to one of these institutions. They will also attend conferences and collaboration meetings, give talks, and write papers to disseminate their research results.
Applicants with experience and skills in nuclear astrophysics, stellar astrophysics, or neutrino astrophysics are encouraged to apply.
The position is for two years, renewable for a third year upon mutual agreement and the availability of funding. The starting date can be between June 1 and October 1, 2025. A Ph.D. in Physics, Astrophysics, or a related field is required. Applicants should submit a CV, a statement of research interests, a publication list, and the names and contact information of at least three references. Applications should be submitted here: https://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/222572. Review of applications will begin on December 15.
About the Department:
The NC State Department of Physics provides (1) high-quality physics instruction to the university community through courses in introductory physics, (2) educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in physics through high-quality curricula, faculty, and research facilities, and (3) outreach programs that advance scientific knowledge.

Multiple Postdoc positions at Michigan State University
17 October 2025
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will have the opportunity to contribute to one of the research programs listed below:
1) Manipulation of low-energy heavy rare isotope beams for fundamental symmetries – we are developing two instruments – one to produce a pure beam of low-energy radioactive molecular ions and one to search for the parity doublet of Pa-229 using internal conversion electron spectroscopy – this position would assist with both projects (Jaideep Singh singhj@frib.msu.edu).
2) Laser spectroscopy of short-lived radioactive molecules – the goal of this research is to develop and apply new sensitive precision experimental techniques to study molecules composed of short-lived radioactive nuclei which are relevant to studies of nuclear structure and fundamental symmetries (Shane Wilkins wilkins@frib.msu.edu).
3) Laser spectroscopy, and deceleration & cooling of radioactive molecules – the goal of this research is to develop a cryogenic spectroscopy platform for radioactive molecules which is offline from FRIB accelerator facility, and to develop techniques to bring these molecules towards the ultracold regime (Xing Wu wux@frib.msu.edu).
Review of applicants begins 10 November 2025 and will continue until all positions are filled.
