Two Postdoctoral Researcher Positions available in Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy at TRIUMF
24 February 2021
TWO postdoc positions in the Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy Group at TRIUMF in beautiful Vancouver BC/Canada. The successful candidates will have the opportunity to lead and support basic research experiments utilizing all aspects of the TIGRESS Sprectrometer at ISAC.
A two years postdoctoral position is available at the University of Surrey on the topic related to nucleosynthesis (theory).
Applications are invited for a Research Fellow to investigate the possibility of laser-assisted element creation in low-energy fusion reactions of atomic nuclei, exploiting the nuclear excitation and decay mechanisms mediated by coupling to atomic shells. In collaboration with other members of the team, a novel quantum dynamical model based on the theory of open quantum systems will be developed and implemented in a computer code. This will provide opportunities to investigate quantum tunneling in open dynamical systems, which is of great interest across disciplines.
Applicants should have, or soon expected, a PhD degree in theoretical physics, chemistry or related subject, with a research focus on quantum dynamics. The research fellow will be expected to bring expertise in both quantum dynamics induced by laser fields as well as in high-performance computing, and to contribute original ideas to the development of the model and its efficient implementation. The successful applicant will have scientific curiosity and strong skills in team-working and communicating scientific results.
This position is for 2 years, starting 1 September 2021. Informal enquiries regarding the post may be directed to Dr. Alexis Diaz-Torres (a.diaztorres@surrey.ac.uk).

Post-Doc Position at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT)
19 February 2021
This post-doc position is offered through the Nuclear Expertise for Advancing Technologies (NEAT) Center, located at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), and sponsored by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. The position will support applications in stockpile stewardship, nuclear security, and/or basic nuclear physics. This post-doctoral opportunity is designed to develop technical expertise to support the Nuclear Enterprise through hands-on experiments, the application of computational analysis techniques, and interaction with students, government (Military and National Laboratory) sponsors, and civilian university collaborators. Current activities include the measurement of inelastic scattering cross sections on nuclei, neutron spectroscopy, organic scintillator characterization, development of new nuclear environment test capabilities, and radiation effects on electronics. Primary activities for this opportunity include the support and execution of experimental campaigns, development of analysis tools, data analysis and interpretation, manuscript development, and communication of research at relevant scientific meetings. Research activities will be performed at AFIT and collaborator facilities throughout the DOD, DOE, and academia.
