Tenure-track Assistant Professor Position at University of Tsukuba, Japan
09 September 2019
The Division of Physics at University of Tsukuba invites applications from excellent researchers in the field of experimental nuclear physics. The group, in conjunction with the Tomonaga Center for the History of the Universe (TCHoU) and Research Facility Center for Science and Technology (UTTAC), currently conducts following research subjects: studies for properties of quark-gluon plasma at the CERN LHC and BNL RHIC, nucleosynthesis studies with unstable nuclei at RIKEN RIBF, studies for cosmogenic nuclides by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) in UTTAC. The successful candidate is expected to play a leading role in one of the subjects above, or to create a new subject with cooperation of current members. The candidate will also be involved in education at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
Qualification - PhD in experimental nuclear physics or related field.
Starting date - February 1, 2020, or as soon as possible after the decision is made.
Terms of appointments and conditions of employment - A five-year tenure-track term. Evaluated at the mid-term and in the final
year of the term. The salary will be paid in an annual-salary system. Eligible to receive transportation expenses (under certain conditions), to become a member of the MEXT Mutual Aid Association and employment insurance. Holidays are subject to the rules and regulations of the University.

Post-doctoral fellowship in laser-polarization and beta-detected NMR at ISOLDE
19 August 2019
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.
Interested candidates should send a short CV, motivation letter, description of relevant past experience (each as 1-2 pdf pages), and names of two persons who might be contacted for references to Prof. Magdalena Kowalska at kowalska@cern.ch
