Associate Professor Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics at FRIB
05 August 2024
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) is seeking outstanding candidates for a mid-career position at the rank of associate professor in experimental nuclear science, establishing a program aimed at high-precision measurements of nuclear ground-state properties for nuclear structure studies, nuclear astrophysics, and fundamental symmetry tests. Examples of areas of interest include, but are not limited to, high-precision mass measurements, laser spectroscopy, and in-trap decay studies of rare isotopes. The successful candidate will lead high-precision measurements of nuclear ground-state properties, beam stopping, and low-energy beam manipulation in support of precision experiments with stopped and reaccelerated beams.
FRIB is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility and affords world-class research opportunities in low-energy nuclear science since user operation commenced in May 2022. Leveraging FRIB, MSU's nuclear physics graduate program is a top-ranked program nationally, according to U.S. News and World Report's rankings of graduate programs.

Research Fellow in Experimental Nuclear Physics; University of Surrey
29 July 2024
A research fellow (postdoc) position in experimental nuclear physics is available at the University of Surrey, UK.
Location: Guildford, UK
Salary: £36,024 to £44,263 per annum depending on experience
Fixed Term Contract until 30/09/2027
Post Type: Full Time
Closing Date: 23.59 hours BST on Sunday 08 September 2024
Interview Date: Monday 30 September 2024
The postdoctoral researcher's responsibility will include the technical organisation of overseas experiments, setting up complex detector arrangements and maintaining the STFC funded LaBr3 fast-timing FATIMA array and associated electronics. The position will involve work with radioactive rare isotope beams at laboratories including GSI/FAIR, CERN/ISOLDE, RIKEN etc. The candidate will be encouraged in the development of their own research programme.
The successful candidate will be an integral member of the experimental nuclear physics group and will be involved in the activities aimed to study the structure of heavy neutron-rich nuclei. They will join an established group studying isomeric and beta-unstable nuclei at the limits of experimental accessibility, using gamma-ray, charged-particle and storage-ring techniques. Candidates should have a proven track record of research contributions in experimental nuclear physics.
Informal enquiries about this vacancy can be made to Professor Zsolt Podolyák (z.podolyak@surrey.ac.uk) and Professor Paddy Regan (p.regan@surrey.ac.uk).

Postdoctoral position in CENS, IBS
29 July 2024
The Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) in the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) is inviting applications for a three-year postdoc position in experimental nuclear physics.
Founded in December 2019, the IBS Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) carries out experiments on nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure and nuclear reaction using rare isotope accelerators overseas. CENS also has a theory group to carry out independent research and support its experimental efforts. In the near future, the Center will also conduct research that can best utilize a rare isotope accelerator complex in Korea, named Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON line experiments (RAON). Furthermore, CENS is working to develop state-of-the-art detectors for research on structures and reactions of exotic nuclei, measurement of nuclear reactions in explosive stellar events, discovery of new rare isotopes, and exotic nuclear physics experiments.
CENS in IBS launched a project "Studies for the weak interaction: precision frontier of nuclear and particle physics" last year. The study aims to understand physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) from weak interaction. The successful candidate will characterize the coaxial HPGe detectors equipped in the institution to prepare a superallowed beta-decay branching ratio measurement at the new facility RAON and/or elsewhere. This position also provides an opportunity to join the experiments related to precision physics and structure of proton-/ neutron-rich nuclei at ISOLDE-CERN in Switzerland, JYFL-ACC in Finland and INFN Legnaro in Italy. Travels to the facilities are foreseen in the near future. Furthermore, participating in other RAON physics programs is expected.
The application deadline is 04/08/2024.
