Assistant Professor in Experimental Nuclear Physics at Duke University
01 October 2024
The Department of Physics at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina invites applications and nominations for a tenure-track position at the assistant professor level in all fields of Experimental Nuclear Physics. Current experimental and theoretical faculty at Duke University and the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL), a Center of Excellence bridging Duke, NCCU, NCSU and UNC on Duke's campus, have active research programs in all major areas of nuclear physics. Duke faculty in related research areas study high energy collider and neutrino physics, cosmology, quantum information & instrumentation, and nuclear non-proliferation.
The successful candidate should demonstrate the potential to be a recognized leader in experimental nuclear physics who will establish a distinctive, well-funded, independent research effort. Candidates should be committed to excellence in teaching, facilitating learning, and acting as a mentor and advisor for students in research. Duke University encourages interdisciplinary collaboration across the university and with other universities in the NC Triangle area. Opportunities exist for collaboration with colleagues from other Duke departments including statistical science and mathematics, materials, and data science initiatives on campus—such as the Duke Science and Technology Initiative on Artificial Intelligence (dst.duke.edu), the Duke aiM program (aim-nrt.pratt.duke.edu), and the Duke Materials Initiative (dmi.duke.edu). The appointment is expected to begin on or after July 2025. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics, astronomy, or a closely related field, along with postdoctoral experience, and show a strong commitment to research, teaching, and mentorship. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, and statements of research and teaching, and arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation submitted through Academic Jobs Online, AJO#28369 https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28639. Applicants are encouraged to describe in their cover letter how their scholarship, teaching, mentoring, service, or experience would contribute to building a community of scholars, students and staff from different backgrounds.Questions regarding the application process and the position should be submitted to experimental-nuclear-search@duke.eduApplications received by December 1 will be guaranteed consideration. Duke University is a Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer committed to providing employment opportunity without regard to an individual's age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.

Our collective success depends on the robust exchange of ideas-an exchange that is best when the rich diversity of our perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences flourishes. To achieve this exchange, it is essential that all members of the community feel secure and welcome, that the contributions of all individuals are respected, and that all voices are heard. All members of our community have a responsibility to uphold these values.
Opening for two postdoctoral researcher positions in subatomic physics at Chalmers University of Technology
01 October 2024
The experimental subatomic physics group at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, has an opening for two postdoctoral researchers to work on experiments performed at CERN and GSI/FAIR within the MAGISOL, ISS and R3B collaborations.
The physics we are interested in has two pillars: the investigation of light exotic nuclei and the study of fission of neutron-rich nuclei, the latter motivated by the role of fission in the astrophysical r-process. At CERN, the experimental work on these topics is performed at the Scattering Chamber, the Decay station, and the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer (ISS). At GSI/FAIR, the R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) setup is used for complete-kinematics experiments.
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will participate in preparing and running experiments our group is involved in; you are also expected to work on data analysis and physics interpretation.

Position reference number: 20240520
Two postdoctoral researcher positions in experimental subatomic physics
This position is available for a period of up to 4 years in the first instance with the presumption of permanency at the end.
The position will support the UKRI-STFC-funded FAUST project at FRIB in the USA. The FAUST project involves the development and construction of an advanced silicon detection system backed with CsI crystals to be placed inside the world-leading GRETA gamma-ray tracking array, and used in conjunction with the S800 recoil spectrometer. This unique combination of devices will allow for multiple direct reactions to be studied using the vast swathe of intense rare isotope beams now available at the recently opened, FRIB facility. In particular, FAUST will enable investigations of weak r-process reactions in Type-II supernovae, the rp-process in X-ray bursts, and the evolution of shell structure towards the neutron dripline. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the existing nuclear physics programme at Surrey, and will be encouraged in the submission of their own experimental proposals.
The deadline for applications is the 9th October 2024.
