We are happy to share our search for a new Associate Director for the Laboratory for Nuclear Science-MIT-Bates Research and Engineering Center.
The MIT-BATES research campus hosts a diverse program ranging from experimental nuclear and particle physics research through advanced computing to climate research. It is home to the BATES Research and Engineering Center, which provides engineering and technical support for a wide variety of nuclear physics experiments at projects of importance to DOE supporting a broad spectrum of researchers from MIT collaborating external scientists or institutions and industrial or federal partners. Current research focus is very diverse and aligned with U.S. scientific high-priorities in nuclear and high-energy physics and includes among others the Electron-Ion Collider, low-energy nuclear physics and fundamental symmetries research, electron scattering, high-energy particle collider detectors, and more.
From CNRS website: 1 scientist on the theme : "Experimental nuclear physics at GANIL", assigned at the Laboratoire de Physique des 2 Infinis (LP2I) in Bordeaux: Experimental nuclear physics for GANIL nuclear structure and reactions activities, within the Noyaux Exotiques team of the Laboratoire de Physique des 2 Infinis (LP2I) in Bordeaux.
Two post-doctoral positions in nuclear theory and nuclear astrophysics
09 January 2024
We would like to draw your attention to the following announcement for two post-doctoral positions in nuclear theory and nuclear astrophysics:
IJCLab has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to pursue research on relativistic Lagrangians, energy density functionnals approaches applied to finite nuclei, spherical and deformed systems.
IP2I Lyon has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to pursue research on relativistic Lagrangians, dense matter equation of state and phase transitions, and neutron star phenomenology
The two positions are related to a synergetic project in the field of theoretical nuclear and astronuclear physics. IJCLab and IP2I have long records in the development of relativistic approaches for nuclear systems. We are now investigating together relativistic approaches for the description of finite nuclei and neutron stars in view of the recent advances of effective methods derived from QCD. The project is to develop new relativistic Hartree-Fock approaches for the description of finite nuclei and dense matter equation of state and we are looking for complementary expertises for the two positions. In addition, short term visits at IRL NPA, East Lansing, USA are also possible.
The candidates will be selected according to their expertise in the field related to the project, and their knowledge in numerical methods and computer languages, such as python, C or Fortran95 will also be appreciated.
The deadline is 21/01/2024 for a position which could start, at earliest, on 01/04/2024.
In complement to the official application, we kindly ask the candidates to send their application file to Prof. Guy Chanfray g.chanfray@ipnl.in2p3.fr.
An interview will be organized virtually for the short list of candidates.
Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy Postdoctoral Research Associate at Idaho National Laboratory
13 December 2023
The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is seeking a well-qualified Postdoctoral Research Associate in Nuclear Engineering or comparable disciplines for the Materials Minimization, Security, and International Safeguards Department in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Division.
The successful candidate will have a background in nuclear safeguards and experience with Non-Destructive Assay (NDA) techniques – including gamma-ray spectroscopy. The candidate should be experienced in handling radioactive samples or possess a strong desire to learn. The candidate will work with researchers and nuclear facility operators to perform NDA measurements of nuclear material in-situ and ex-situ. The responsibilities include setting up and participating in experiments, performing data analysis, and interpreting and publishing the results. One area of research will be to assist in the development and operation of a microcalorimetry gamma-ray spectroscopy instrument for nuclear material quantification.
