Career-Track Physicist Staff Scientist in the Nuclear Structure Group at LBNL

The Nuclear Science Division (NSD) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is inviting applications for a Career-Track Physicist Staff Scientist position (in exceptional circumstances, a Career appointment will be considered). Candidates should be outstanding scientists with a focus on conducting original experimental physics research with an emphasis on the properties and reactions of exotic nuclei. For full consideration, applications should be submitted by October 27th, 2023.

The successful candidate will join the Nuclear Structure Group, and will be expected to lead the development of a research program in low-energy nuclear physics, leveraging recent advances in the field associated with the capabilities at facilities including FRIB.

The Nuclear Structure Group sits within NSD's Low-Energy Nuclear Physics Program which also includes major activities to study the properties of the heaviest elements and to carry out nuclear data evaluation and measurements for basic and the applied nuclear science communities. We develop, construct, and utilize advanced instrumentation for this work, including the gamma-ray tracking arrays GRETINA and GRETA, and the heavy element mass separators BGS and FIONA. Across the program research is carried out locally at the 88-Inch Cyclotron (LBNL's high-intensity stable-beam accelerator), at the Argonne ATLAS/CARIBU facility, and at the rare-isotope beam facilities FRIB at Michigan State University, the Rare Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) at RIKEN, and the ISAC Facility at TRIUMF.

FRIB Theory Alliance Fellow

The FRIB Theory Alliance is seeking outstanding candidates for an FRIB Theory Fellow. The fellow will be hosted by one of the Partner Institutions listed below. The successful candidate will conduct independent or collaborative research on theoretical nuclear structure, reactions, astrophysics, and/or fundamental symmetries relevant to the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). The FRIB Theory Alliance is a consortium of universities and national laboratories actively engaged in theoretical research in FRIB science. FRIB is a new national user facility for nuclear science, funded by the DOE Office of Science and operated by Michigan State University.

The FRIB Theory Fellowship is a two-year position with the possibility of renewal for a maximum of five years. The initial stipend is $90k and this position has an annual travel budget of up to $5k. Additional funds will be provided for travel to FRIB. The FRIB Theory Fellow will be an employee of Michigan State University stationed at either Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, or the University of Notre Dame. The selection of the host institution will be made through negotiations with the successful candidate and the partner institutions. The successful candidate must demonstrate great promise for high achievement in FRIB science. Past fellows have a track record of moving directly into open faculty or permanent staff positions.

In their application materials, applicants should communicate their preferences with regards to specific hosting institutions. Hosting institutions and host contact information are: Argonne National Laboratory: Alessandro Lovato (lovato@alcf.anl.gov) Oak Ridge National Laboratory: Thomas Papenbrock (tpapenbr@utk.edu) University of Notre Dame: S. Ragnar Stroberg (sstrobe2@nd.edu)

Please apply at Academic Jobs Online https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25384. The application deadline is October 15th, 2023. Three reference letters are also due by this date. If you have any questions, please contact Calvin Johnson (cjohnson@sdsu.edu).

MSU is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. MSU is committed to achieving excellence through cultural diversity. The university actively encourages applications and/or nominations of women, persons of color, veterans and persons with disabilities.

Two tenure-track Faculty Positions in Physics at the U.S. Naval Academy

We invite applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in physics starting as early as Summer 2024. Candidates of all academic ranks will be considered but by policy will be hired at the rank of Assistant Professor. Candidates with research specialties in astrophysics or nuclear physics are a higher priority in this year's search, nevertheless we encourage all interested candidates to apply. Successful candidates will demonstrate the potential for teaching a variety of physics courses including required courses for physics majors at the upper level. We are committed to hiring faculty who embrace the diverse nature of our student body, comprising exceptional women and men from every congressional district in the United States. Areas of research in our department include acoustics, astrophysics, computational physics, nuclear physics, optics, and condensed matter.

Review of applications will begin on October 1 and will continue until the position is filled. Visit [https://www.usna.edu/HRO/jobinfo/Tenure-track-Physics-AY24.php] (https://www.usna.edu/HRO/jobinfo/Tenure-track-Physics-AY24.php) for more information, including how to apply. The U. S. Naval Academy is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

One or more Postdoctoral Positions available with the Low energy Nuclear Physics (LENP) Team at Los Alamos National Laboratory

The P-3 group in Physics division is looking for one or more postdoctoral researchers to work in the Low Energy Nuclear Physics (LENP) Team on direct measurements of neutron-induced reactions and related efforts. The successful candidate(s) will perform measurements and data analysis at the Los Alamos Neutron Science CEnter (LANSCE) and possibly external facilities. The specific focus of these positions is intended to be experimental work with the Chi-Nu Prompt Fission Neutron Instrument and the CoGNAC dual neutron and gamma-ray detection array, on studies of neutron elastic and inelastic scattering, other nuclear reactions, and studies of the fission outputs and physics; and experimental work with the Device for Indirect Capture Experiments on Radionuclides (DICER), on neutron transmission and capture. The teams are tightly coupled to the LANL nuclear physics theory group as well as modeling and simulation teams in theoretical design, computational physics, and computer and computation sciences divisions. In addition, LENP researchers are active in collaborative work with other institutions, both nationally and internationally. The intense neutron spallation sources at LANSCE are used in much of this work and cover a neutron energy range from sub-thermal to 800 MeV.
