Multiple Postdoc Positions available at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
04 February 2022
At PNNL we are searching for multiple Postdoctoral Research Associates to be part of our multidisciplinary team to work at the intersection of national security, environmental sciences, and nuclear/particle physics instrumentation. I would appreciate if you could forward this announcement to any potential candidates. We recognize that no single candidate will meet all of our needs, therefore we encourage all potential candidates to apply.
Position posting: https://careers.pnnl.gov/jobs/2248
The positions will involve significant hands-on work with low-background radiation detectors (germanium detectors, gas proportional counters, and liquid scintillators), sample collections and preparation (e.g. noble gas processing from whole air, noble gas purification, electrolytic enrichment of water samples for tritium measurements), and the fundamental development of radiation detectors and gas separations systems. Experience with the challenges associated with low-background techniques are beneficial. Due to our multidisciplinary needs, we are encouraging candidates from diverse backgrounds, in physics, nuclear engineering, and environmental sciences to apply.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Stephanie Lyons at stephanie.lyons@pnnl.gov
Jefferson Lab Hall A/C Leader position
04 February 2022
Hall A/C Group Leader
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) currently has an open position opportunity for a Hall A and C (combined) Group Leader to provide overall management of the physics research program for these experimental halls. Experimental Hall A recently installed major equipment and launched the Super BigBite Spectrometer suite of experiments, while preparing for the upcoming MOLLER and future SoLID projects. A vigorous scientific program is foreseen for Hall C using the HMS and super HMS spectrometers, as well as new equipment such as a the Neutral Particle Spectrometer and Compact Photon Source. The initial physics program of the Halls includes studies of generalized and transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions of the nucleon, nucleon and meson form factors, detailed measurements of nucleon valence quark structure at large x, and studies of fundamental properties of atomic nuclei.
The Hall A/C Group Leader is responsible for the staging and execution of the experiments. He/she is also responsible for the further development of the research program through collaboration with users, staff, and advisory committees. The responsibilities also include management of all Hall scientific, postdoctoral, engineering and technical staff, as well as budget planning and resource allocation. The successful candidate will provide coordination, leadership and communication with the Hall A and C user communities, and organization of technical and human resources towards expedient science results and publication.
The successful candidate will be an internationally recognized expert in the forefront of nuclear/particle physics. A record of scientific excellence as demonstrated by publication is required. The candidate must possess significant professional experience in intermediate energy nuclear/particle physics or a closely related area, of which a minimum of three years is in a management capacity. The candidate should have technical experience with a broad variety of experimental equipment such as large-scale detectors, high rate data acquisition and trigger systems, beam monitoring devices, and offline software for charged particle tracking and detector simulations. Demonstrated supervisory, planning, problem solving, decision making and communication skills are required. A Ph.D. in Experimental Nuclear or Particle Physics or the equivalent combination of education, experience, and specific training is required.
Interested applicants should apply on the Jefferson Lab jobs site (https://www.jlab.org/job-openings) and arrange to have at least two reference letters emailed to Jennifer Finch (finch@jlab.org). Applicants are encouraged to let Jennifer know they have applied and who will be submitting the reference letters. Submission of applications is requested by the end of February 2022.
