Postdoctoral Researcher Position at Louisiana State University
08 August 2018
Job Description: The nuclear physics group at Louisiana State University is looking to hire a Postdoctoral Researcher or Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in the area of experimental nuclear physics. Our group’s research interests span the areas of nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics and weak interaction processes. Specifically, this position will focus on projects to experimentally determine reaction rates of astrophysical importance in a variety of stellar processes. A successful candidate will be expected to be involved in all aspects of these studies from developing instrumentation to the planning, execution and analysis of experiments using stable and/or radioactive ion beams. Our experimental program is centered around measurements at Argonne National Laboratory, Florida State University, and the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory with the possibility of successful candidates being in residence at one of these facilities. The position is for two years with the possible addition of a third year.
Required Qualifications: (Postdoc and Senior Postdoc) Applicants must have a Ph.D. in nuclear physics or a related field; (Senior Postdoc) Must have 3+ years experience.
Desired Qualifications: Experience in the laboratory is essential and candidates who have demonstrated practical knowledge in the development and construction of detectors and other equipment are encouraged to apply. Familiarity with C++, ROOT, and/or GEANT is also desirable.
Instructions for applicant: Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vita, publications list, research statement and a list of the contact information for three independent references.

JINA-CEE Postdoc Position for Nuclear Astrophysics Data
31 July 2018
The JINA Center for the Evolution of the Elements (JINA-CEE) at Michigan State University (MSU) is seeking a highly qualified individual as postdoctoral fellow to work on nuclear astrophysics data evaluation and dissemination.
JINA-CEE is a multi-institutional NSF Physics Frontiers Center focusing on research at the intersection of astrophysics and nuclear physics. The center brings together nuclear physicists, astrophysicists, and astronomers to address open questions related to the origin of the elements and the properties of nuclear matter in neutron stars. JINA-CEE consists of a unique network of four core institutions (MSU, Arizona State University, University of Notre Dame, and University of Washington) and 22 associated institutions in seven countries.
The research activities of the successful candidate will focus on evaluating experimental and theoretical nuclear data, supplementing experimental information with theoretical calculations, and the development and dissemination of data products such as astrophysical reaction rates needed for astrophysical applications. Very close collaboration with nuclear experimentalists, nuclear theorists, and astrophysicists across the JINA-CEE network is required. The successful candidate will also collaborate closely with nuclear data evaluators within the US Nuclear Data Program, in particular with the evaluators located at Michigan State University.
The position is located at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, USA and initially limited to 1 year, though subsequent reappointments are possible. The position requires a PhD in nuclear physics, nuclear and radiochemistry, astronomy, or a related field. The preferred candidate should have some theoretical or experimental experience related to nuclear astrophysics data. An asset, but not required will be past experience with evaluating experimental nuclear data for astrophysical purposes, with producing nuclear astrophysics data sets, with data dissemination, and/or with some of the theoretical tools used to analyze and complement experimental data to obtain astrophysical rates. The position provides an excellent opportunity for a candidate with a background in nuclear science or nuclear astrophysics to start a career in nuclear data evaluations and management.
Interested candidates should upload a CV and cover letter addressing previous experience in relation to the above stated responsibilities at http://www.careers.msu.edu/ (search for the posting 520502 and follow the application process) and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent directly to:

Assistant professor in Basic Sciences
The vision for the Basic Sciences at Chalmers is to perform world-leading research aiming at ground-breaking discoveries. With our research, education and collaborations we address fundamental questions in astronomy, chemistry, computer science, earth science, physics, biology and mathematics.
Chalmers will recruit two assistant professors within Basic Sciences.
Chalmers has a long tradition of outstanding research in science and technology. In particular, fundamental research is the basis on which much of the current technological advances builds on. In order to stay at the forefront of technology, a solid foundation of curiosity-driven research is essential. Such research is conducted in all departments across Chalmers, and the successful candidate is expected to play a key role in advancing our understanding of the world. Topics already present in the different departments as well as completely new research directions are of interest for us.
Conducting research at Chalmers allows for very good opportunities to do cross-disciplinary work, and also to collaborate with University of Gothenburg, providing an excellent overall research environment in Gothenburg.
