Postdoc position with TUNL Nuclear Data Evaluation group

The Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) Data Evaluation group seeks a postdoctoral researcher to join our group in support of nuclear structure data compilation and evaluation.

The Triangle University Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) is a Department of Energy Center of Excellence in Nuclear Physics. TUNL is one of four Department of Energy Nuclear Physics Centers of Excellence, with affiliated experimental and theory faculty from Duke, North Carolina Central, North Carolina State, and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Located on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, TUNL draws collaborators worldwide and provides opportunities in both accelerator and non-accelerator-based research. In addition, TUNL is engaged in research collaborations at leading national and international user facilities.

The TUNL group is part of the US Nuclear Data Program and participates in the international network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data evaluators. We are responsible for compilation and evaluation of nuclei in the A=2-20 mass region. A successful candidate will have recently completed a PhD in nuclear physics and will contribute in literature surveys to produce XUNDL datasets, related to individual articles, and ENSDF evaluations for nuclides and collections of nuclides along isotopic chains. Additional contributions may include expanding the presentation of nuclear data on our locally managed website that specifically focuses on light nuclei https://nucldata.tunl.duke.edu/.

This appointment will be through Duke University, carries a one-year appointment, and is renewable by mutual consent for a period of up to 3 years. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Applicants should submit a CV, a brief description of research experience and the names of three potential references to Prof. John Kelley (jhkelley@ncsu.edu). See further details online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22700

Two positions open at SkuTek Instrumentation

We have two openings at SkuTek, both related to Nuclear Physics. The positions are funded by the Department of Energy Office of Science (Nuclear Physics) under Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR). SkuTek Instrumentation is a small high tech company located close to the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA. We are especially proud of developing and delivering the Digital Data Acquisition for LUX-Zeplin detector (digitizers and logic modules, ~1500 digital channels in total).

Full descriptions and how to apply: SkuTek.com --> click on "Job openings" at the upper-right of the page.

1) Software Engineer (Full or Part-Time).

SkuTek Instrumentation has an opening for a Software Engineer to help develop 100+ Gbps data acquisition and data management systems for experimental physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and related fields. The data will come from research instruments such as Nuclear Physics detectors, astronomical telescopes, radio telescopes,etc. This will involve reading out from front end electronics, online processing and caching of data, and then transferring it over ESNet, or other scientific networks. Necessary skills include Linux and Windows system administration, networking, and low-level computer science. Experience with NERSC, ESNet, or other experimental facilities will be a plus. There will be opportunities to work on other company projects such as digitizer development or instrument control. The position is appropriate for a computer-savvy physicist, astronomer, electrical engineer, or computer scientist. Work will involve partnership with research community at National Labs and universities.

2) Electrical Engineer: FPGA and Embedded Development

SkuTek Instrumentation has an opening for an Research Engineer to help develop instruments for scientific research and education. The instruments consist of analog-to-digital converters (ADC), field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), and embedded processors. The position is appropriate for an engineer with experience with VHDL, Verilog, FPGA architecture, and low level embedded programming. We will also consider a physicist with hands on experience with a variety of detectors and nuclear electronics, both digital and analog. The physicist must be highly motivated to quickly learn essential FPGA techniques. Experience with board design (both schematic and layout), soldering, and troubleshooting will be a plus. Work will involve partnership with research community at National Labs and universities.
