Postdoctoral Research Associate - Physics and Applied Physics – University of Massachusetts Lowell
The Nuclear Physics group at the University of Massachusetts Lowell https://www.uml.edu/ has an immediate Postdoctoral opening to help exploit new opportunities in experimental research both at major national user facilities and at our on-campus Radiation Laboratory. The current research in the group is focused on fundamental nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics, as well as in detector R&D and applied nuclear science using emerging scintillators and segmented HPGe detectors. The Radiation Laboratory has a 1-MW research reactor and a 5.5-MV CN Van de Graaff accelerator. The university is situated in the historic city of Lowell, on the Merrimack River, a half-hour northwest of Boston.
We are looking for recent PhD graduates who want to take on challenging roles in our existing programs, but who will also be encouraged to pursue their own research interests. Minimum Qualifications (Required): • A Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics or a closely related field is required • Experience with state-of-the-art nuclear detectors and techniques, as well as multi-parameter digital data acquisition and analysis of accelerator-based experiments, is desirable. • The successful candidate will be an integral member of the group and will be expected to help mentor graduate and undergraduate students.
