Postdoctoral Research Associate - SIGMA ENVISAGE Liverpool

The Liverpool Nuclear Physics Group is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to support its STFC-funded ENVISAGE programme, which aims to evaluate the performance of a Segmented Inverted coaxial GerManium (SIGMA) detector in operational environments.

You will play a leading role in evaluating the performance of the detector (1) as a tracking detector for decay spectroscopy experiments and (2) as a spectroscopic gamma-ray imager in nuclear decommissioning. Your role will include driving developments of experimental acquisition and analysis techniques. You will lead detector commissioning and data acquisition campaigns at laboratories in the University of Liverpool, the University of Jyväskylä (JYFL), Finland, and Mirion Technologies, Warrington. You will lead the analysis of the acquired data, for example (1) using the JYFL data to track gamma rays detected in SIGMA back to an implantation array to characterise and correlate isomeric decays and beta delayed gamma rays from the implanted exotic ions and (2) using the Mirion data to produce spectroscopic gamma-ray images of a range of industrially relevant gamma-ray sources.

You will be expected to present the results of your work at collaboration meetings and international conferences. A willingness to travel and the ability to communicate effectively with key stakeholders are essential. You will have opportunities to access a range of researcher development resources, with the University of Liverpool sector leading in postdoctoral researcher development programmes such as Prosper. The post is available until 31st October 2026 and is expected to start as soon as possible. Applications must be submitted by 8th December 2023. For any enquiries about the post please contact Prof Laura Harkness-Brennan ljh@liverpool.ac.uk.

Postdoctoral Researcher in experimental nuclear physics - Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä

We are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Researcher in experimental nuclear physics for the JYFL Accelerator Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä, Finland starting from April 1st, 2024, or as soon as agreed for two years.

The detailed information officially and how-to-apply link is in: https://ats.talentadore.com/apply/postdoctoral-researcher-physics/ZvrQQQ

The fixed-term position is part of the Academy of Finland funded project "Mass measurements of exotic N=Z nuclei (up to 100Sn) and the vicinity for nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics studies" (https://converis.jyu.fi/converis/portal/detail/Project/183400824). The person to be hired for the project will be responsible for the development and test of methods for producing neutron-deficient heavy nuclei along the proton drip line, analysis of data related to the mass measurement experiment, and contribution to developing and maintaining IGISOL at top shape. The postdoc will join and be heavily involved in the experiments for mass measurements of exotic N=Z area nuclei at RIBF/RIKEN Nishina centre in Japan when the beam time will be scheduled. Furthermore, interests in other related physics motivation and novel techniques related to IGISOL or other radioactive ion-beam facilities (GSI-FAIR, GAINIL, …) are also highly encouraged and supported.
