The FRIB Theory Alliance is seeking outstanding candidates for an FRIB
Theory Fellowship. The successful candidate will conduct independent or
collaborative research at a Partner Institution on 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 will be a new national user
facility for nuclear science, funded by the DOE Office of Science and
operated by Michigan State University.
The FRIB Theory Fellowship is a 2-yr position with the possibility of
renewal for a maximum of 5 years. The initial stipend is $75k and this
position has an annual travel budget of up to $5k. This FRIB Theory
Fellow will be an employee of Michigan State University stationed at a
Partner Institution by mutual agreement. The successful candidate must
demonstrate great promise for high scientific achievement in FRIB science
and is expected to advance into an open faculty or permanent staff
position in the field within 5 years of their initial appointment.

Managing Director/Science Coordinator for the JINA Center for the Evolution of the Elements
14 August 2017
The Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics Center for the Evolution of the Elements (JINA-CEE) is a multi-institutional NSF Physics Frontiers Center dedicated to bringing 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.
JINA-CEE invites applications to fill the position of JINA-CEE Managing Director which is located at the headquarter at Michigan State University (MSU).

If of interest, the Managing Director will also be able to carry out a small independent part time research program within the scientific scope of JINA-CEE.
The position is a non-tenure track academic appointment at MSU in East Lansing, Michigan, USA. A PhD in physics, astronomy, or a related field is required. Candidates should have outstanding interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills and a strong interest in science communication and science administration. They should also be self-motivated and able to work independently in a leadership position. No formal management experience is required, but significant experience in management and organizational skills is desirable. Prior experience and/or interest in a research areas broadly related to nuclear astrophysics would also be helpful. Applications from astronomers with these interests are particularly welcome.
