Post-doctoral fellowship in laser-polarization and beta-detected NMR at ISOLDE
Within an ERC Grant hosted at CERN and UNIGE, we are looking for a hands-on experimental physicist to work at the recently built laser polarization and beta-detected NMR setups at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The experimental setup is devoted to a wide research programme using spin-polarized radioactive and stable beams, including fundamental physics, nuclear structure, and beta-NMR studies in biology, and in the future also material science. The post-doctoral researcher will be responsible for the ongoing upgrades to the beamline and will oversee the experiments to be performed with the improved beamline. These cover the final design and commissioning of an offline ion source and its use to laser-polarize stable nuclei, preparation of the setups to detect the degree of polarization offline, and help with commissioning a superconducting NMR magnet. In the 2nd year the post-doc will be responsible for the beta-asymmetry measurements and beta-NMR studies using short lived isotopes.
