Postdoctoral Research Opportunity in the Charge-Exchange Group at FRIB
21 November 2022
The Charge-Exchange (CE) Group at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (https://frib.msu.edu) at Michigan State University, led by Remco Zegers, is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral research position in experimental nuclear astrophysics. The CE group performs experiments that aim to elucidate the role of weak interactions (electron-captures, neutrino-induced reactions) in astrophysical scenarios by using charge-exchange reactions with beams at ~100 MeV/u. In addition, charge-exchange reactions are utilized to probe the spin-isospin response of nuclei, including isovector giant resonances. A wide variety of experimental probes are used, such as the (t,3He)/(3He,t) reactions, the (p,n) reaction in inverse kinematics, various heavy-ion CE probes, and since recently, the (d,2He) reaction in inverse kinematics. Experimental tools include magnetic spectrometers, neutron and gamma-ray detectors, and active-target time projection chambers. The group works closely with other experimental groups, nuclear theorists and astrophysicists in order to interpret the experimental results and the impacts on astrophysical simulations. The group has also developed an electron-capture rate library that can be used in astrophysical simulations.
Details of the position and qualifications, as well as instructions to apply, can be found at: https://careers.msu.edu/cw/en-us/job/509509/research-associatefixed-term.
This is a positing for several postdoctoral research opportunities at FRIB. The opening in the CE group is associated with opportunity number 6 on this page.

Two postdoctoral positions at University of Liverpool
17 November 2022
The University of Liverpool is seeking 2 Postdoctoral Research Associates to support its research programme exploring nuclear structure at the extremes of spin and isospin. One post will focus primarily on gamma-ray spectroscopy exploiting AGATA, while the second will mainly investigate ground-state properties of exotic nuclei in experiments using advanced laser and decay spectroscopy techniques at a range of facilities. The tenure of the posts is until 30th September 2024. For further details and a link to the online application please see:
For more information, please contact Robert Page (rdp@ns.ph.liv.ac.uk).

Postdoctoral position at Louisiana State University
15 November 2022
The nuclear physics group at Louisiana State University is looking to hire a Postdoctoral Researcher or Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in the area of experimental nuclear physics. Our group's research interests span the areas of nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics and weak interaction processes. Specifically, this position will focus on projects to experimentally determine reaction rates of astrophysical importance in a variety of stellar processes. A successful candidate will be expected to be involved in all aspects of these studies from developing instrumentation to the planning, execution and analysis of experiments using stable and/or radioactive ion beams. Our experimental program is centered around measurements at Argonne National Laboratory, Florida State University, and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams with the possibility of successful candidates being in residence at one of these facilities. The position is for two years with the possible addition of a third year.
