Postdoc position at Texas A&M University
07 May 2021
The stored ion and bio-optics research group at Texas A&M University has an opening for a postdoctoral experimentalist to lead and further expand our collinear fast beam laser spectroscopy program for trace detection of isotopes. The postdoc will also be involved in attosecond research with intense laser fields, and frequency comb spectroscopies. The research is based at Texas A&M University in College Station TX but may involve visits to a collaborating US National Laboratory (for this US citizenship is required) and international research facilities producing short-lived nuclei.
The successful candidate is expected to lead the collinear fast beam laser spectroscopy research assisted by graduate and undergraduate students. Topics within this research comprise nuclear physics, nonlinear optics, as well as remote sensing (see http://sibor.physics.tamu.edu).
Candidates should have a recent Ph.D. in physics and have experience in some of the following: ultra-high vacuum, high-voltage applications, mode-locked laser systems, and computer interfacing.
The start date is immediate, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Interested candidates should send a cover letter, resume, and contact information with three references to:
Prof. Hans Schuessler, Department of Physics & Astronomy, Texas A&M University, MS 4242, College Station, Texas 77843-4242
schuessler@physics.tamu.edu.
Texas A&M University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. The research group with state-of-the-art instrumentation provides a stimulating, inclusive, diverse, and multicultural work environment with opportunities to grow and establish an outstanding research portfolio.

Research Associate position in the Accelerator Physics Department at FRIB
29 April 2021
https://careers.msu.edu/cw/en-us/job/503674/research-associatefixed-term
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University is approaching completion and commencement of user operation in early 2022. The FRIB high-power superconducting linear accelerator has already been demonstrated to accelerate ion beams to the design energy of 200 MeV/u to produce rare isotopes. FRIB is poised to be the world's most powerful rare isotope beam facility, with unprecedented opportunities to study the vast unexplored potential of more than 1,000 new rare isotopes never before produced on Earth. FRIB includes a target facility for the in-flight production of rare isotopes. An Advanced Rare Isotope Separator (ARIS) will prepare fast rare isotope beams with high-purity for nuclear physics experiments.
We invite Ph.D. graduates to apply for this Research Associate position and join the FRIB Accelerator Physics Department. The Research Associate will contribute to the commissioning, development, and operation of the FRIB by undertaking projects and activities to improve facility performance as measured by beam quality, intensity, power, purity, and variety.
Position duties can be adjusted according to the candidate's experience, interests, and talents, but will cover at least three of the following areas:
- Development of ARIS settings for efficient separation and purification of rare isotopes
- Development of parallel simulation and optimization codes for production, separation, and transport of rare isotope beams
- Development, implementation, and maintenance of high-level physics applications
- Development and application of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to improve the efficiency of the accelerator and/or secondary beam transport devices
Supports the Accelerator Physics Department within the FRIB Accelerator Systems Division.
Major position responsibilities are the advancement of fragment separator beam physics including:
- Advance the understanding of ARIS fragment separator beam physics for efficient tuning and operation of secondary beamlines
- Physics of interaction of ion beams with the target and wedges
- Develop and support parallel simulation and optimization codes for production, separation and transport of rare isotope beams
- Contribute to the development, implementation, and maintenance of high level physics applications
Execute work to meet project milestones and performance objectives (cost, scope and schedule)
- Plan to perform their work in a safe manner
- Perform work with quality
- Execute the completion of systems and progressive science and technology
