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.

Accelerator Physicist position at Michigan State University
06 October 2025
The Accelerator Physicist will contribute to the development and operation of the FRIB accelerators by undertaking projects and activities to improve facility performance, as measured by beam quality, intensity, power, purity, and variety. These activities will focus on enhancing the performance of FRIB and providing planned availability of primary beams on target and secondary beams for experiments, primarily by applying AI/ML techniques.

Research Associate Position at FRIB
15 September 2025
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beam (FRIB) https://www.frib.msu.edu/ invites applications from outstanding candidates for a fixed-term research associate (Postdoctoral Researcher) position in experimental nuclear science, who will work in the research group of Prof. Ringle.
The successful candidate will primarily work on hardware developments and experiments related to the LEBIT facility https://groups.nscl.msu.edu/lebit/, which is used to perform high-precision mass spectrometry of rare isotopes produced FRIB. The LEBIT group is very active, typically performing multiple rare isotope measurements per year, as well as mass measurements of naturally occurring isotopes of scientific interest. The range of science topics addressed by these measurements is broad, including nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, highly-forbidden decays, etc. The new Single-Ion Penning Trap (SIPT) project will enable mass measurements with a single ion using the Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) technique. SIPT has been commissioned offline and is being prepared for first rare-isotope measurements soon. A new multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-ToF-MS) is under active development and will be installed in the LEBIT beam line. There is no shortage of opportunities to perform cutting-edge science with LEBIT that can't be done anywhere else in the world.
