Postdoctoral Fellow position in experimental nuclear physics at the Australian National University, Canberra

Applications are sought for a Postdoctoral Fellow in experimental nuclear physics at the Australian National University (ANU), Canberra. The position is offered on a full-time basis, for a period of two years, anticipated to commence from 1 October 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Research School of Physics at ANU hosts the leading accelerator-based, fundamental nuclear physics research facility in Australia. The Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) is a national facility established to support world-class research activities across diverse themes related to nuclear science and its applications. Our staff and students have an international reputation for undertaking world-class research into the nature of atomic nuclei and development of unique technical infrastructure to do so.

The successful applicant will perform research related to the recently funded Australian Research Council Discovery Project DP210101201, "Nuclear vibrations under scrutiny in near-spherical and deformed nuclei". They will work closely with the Project CIs--Prof Andrew Stuchbery, Prof Greg Lane and Dr AJ Mitchell--and their students, as well international collaborators and facility Technical Staff. The research will primarily employ nucleon-transfer reactions and Coulomb excitation to address the science goals of the project, making use of the Enge magnetic spectrometer and CAESAR array of HPGe and LaBr3 gamma-ray detectors at HIAF. The Postdoctoral Fellow will also have the opportunity to contribute to other research programs of the research group, supervision of research students and coursework teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will join a research group within the Department of Nuclear Physics and Accelerator Applications that values diversity and inclusion, and we are committed to providing equal opportunities to those of all backgrounds and identities. They will be encouraged to take advantage of existing opportunities for mentoring, professional development of transferrable skills, availability of trained Diversity and Inclusion Officers for the Research School of Physics, and a large proportion of local staff and students being members of the LGBTIQ Ally Network.

The deadline for applications is 23:55 on 6 September 2022 (Australian Eastern Standard Time).

Informal enquiries are welcomed and can be made to Dr AJ Mitchell (aj.mitchell@anu.edu.au).
