Opening for two postdoctoral researcher positions in subatomic physics at Chalmers University of Technology
01 October 2024
The experimental subatomic physics group at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, has an opening for two postdoctoral researchers to work on experiments performed at CERN and GSI/FAIR within the MAGISOL, ISS and R3B collaborations.
The physics we are interested in has two pillars: the investigation of light exotic nuclei and the study of fission of neutron-rich nuclei, the latter motivated by the role of fission in the astrophysical r-process. At CERN, the experimental work on these topics is performed at the Scattering Chamber, the Decay station, and the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer (ISS). At GSI/FAIR, the R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) setup is used for complete-kinematics experiments.
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will participate in preparing and running experiments our group is involved in; you are also expected to work on data analysis and physics interpretation.

Two postdoctoral researcher positions in experimental subatomic physics
This position is available for a period of up to 4 years in the first instance with the presumption of permanency at the end.
The position will support the UKRI-STFC-funded FAUST project at FRIB in the USA. The FAUST project involves the development and construction of an advanced silicon detection system backed with CsI crystals to be placed inside the world-leading GRETA gamma-ray tracking array, and used in conjunction with the S800 recoil spectrometer. This unique combination of devices will allow for multiple direct reactions to be studied using the vast swathe of intense rare isotope beams now available at the recently opened, FRIB facility. In particular, FAUST will enable investigations of weak r-process reactions in Type-II supernovae, the rp-process in X-ray bursts, and the evolution of shell structure towards the neutron dripline. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the existing nuclear physics programme at Surrey, and will be encouraged in the submission of their own experimental proposals.
The deadline for applications is the 9th October 2024.
