Post-doc position at the Department of Mathematics and Physics of the University "Luigi Vanvitelli"
05 September 2023
This message announces the opening by the end of this year of a post-doc position in Nuclear Theory that should start at the beginning of 2024 – not later than next February - at the Department of Mathematics and Physics of the University "Luigi Vanvitelli" in Caserta (Italy). The duration of the fellowship is 18 months, and the monthly net salary amounts to 1.9 kEuro.
The Nuclear Theory group at University "Luigi Vanvitelli" is going to investigate the properties of the equation of state of infinite nuclear matter starting from low-energy effective theory (LEEFT) Hamiltonians, as well as to derive shell-model effective Hamiltonians and decay operators aimed to study beta-decay properties of nuclei that are candidates to the observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay.
In low-energy effective theory, the effective degrees of freedom can be either nucleons (pions are integrated out) and/or clusters, typically alpha particles. Then, only contact interactions take place among nucleons/clusters, organized in a systematic expansion.
The official call should start during October 2023, and we ask you to spread the news of our post-doc position among young scientists who may be interested to challenge themselves in such a research topic, and are versed in many-body nuclear physics with realistic nuclear forces. We point out that also graduate students who have not a PhD degree may apply.
This position is framed in a 2-year project that the Nuclear Theory group at University "Luigi Vanvitelli" will carry out from next fall in collaboration with the Nuclear Theory groups at the Universities of Pisa and Salento, and the topic of the research project is the nuclear structure study of nuclear LEEFT Hamiltonians.
Please, for those who are interested to apply for this fellowship, contact us in order to receive first-hand information about the official start of the call:

Postdoctoral Scientist Position for HPGe Detector Development at LBNL
05 September 2023
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's (LBNL) Nuclear Science Division Division has an opening for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team within the Applied Nuclear Physics program. The position is focused on research towards the development, modeling, and characterization of a next-generation High Purity Germanium detector system primarily focused on nuclear structure experiments.
The Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL) calls for applications of young researcher post-doctoral fellows for a two years position, in the field of experimental nuclear physics, starting from November 2023. The successful candidate will be involved in the research activities related to the structure and dynamics of superheavy nuclei using the Super Separator Spectrometer S3 and its detector SIRIUS.
Director of TRIUMF's Physical Sciences Division
30 August 2023
We are seeking an internationally recognised physicist with superb scientific and leadership skills to be appointed as the Director of TRIUMF's Physical Sciences Division (PSD).
The Electroweak Interactions Group at the Colorado School of Mines is recruiting a post-doctoral researcher to perform the first work on the new SALER experiment at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University. We seek a candidate with significant experience in low-temperature physics using cryogenic sensing techniques. The candidate should have an interest in applying these methods to search for physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) via precision measurements of nuclear decay. The successful candidate will be integrated into both the BeEST and SALER experiments and will be expected to lead the SALER technical development at FRIB and participate in data analysis. The primary responsibility of the researcher will be to set up and commission the new SALER experiment in the ReA3 hall at FRIB at Michigan State University. This will involve beamline integration of the adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) (in collaboration with local technical staff), mounting and repair of superconducting sensors and wiring, and performing off-line measurements using stable ion beam, pulsed lasers, and a low-energy X-ray generator. The researcher will be stationed full-time at FRIB in East Lansing, Michigan, USA, and will manage the local experimental and laboratory facilities related to the superconducting sensing programs. Occasional travel to Colorado and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (California) may be required. The candidate must be able to work well in diverse, mid-sized international collaborations, and will be responsible for documenting and disseminating their research work according to guidelines of the collaborations. The initial post-doctoral fellow appointment will be for two years, with the possible extension of a third.
