Postdoctoral Researcher in Low-Energy Experimental Nuclear Physics at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
The Nuclear and Particle Physics Group at LLNL invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to join the group’s programs to study the beta decay of fission products using radioactive-ion beams delivered by the CARIBU facility at Argonne National Laboratory. The successful candidate will become a part of the team’s effort to study the properties of unstable nuclei that are important to astrophysical r-process nucleosynthesis, nuclear energy, and national-security applications. The selected candidate will play a major role in the precision measurements of long-lived fission products utilizing a 4 proportional counter and germanium detectors at LLNL and Texas A&M, as well as the development of a new ion-trap system at ANL dedicated to the study of beta-delayed neutron emission. Travel to accelerator facilities such as ATLAS/CARIBU at Argonne National Laboratory and Texas A&M University for experiments will be required.

Postdoctoral researcher in the Nuclear and Particle Physics Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
The Nuclear and Chemical Sciences Division within the Physical and Life Sciences Directorate at LLNL has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher in the Nuclear and Particle Physics (NPP) Group. The NPP Group maintains a diverse nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics and nuclear fission program that is relevant to testing nuclear models important to nucleosynthesis, stockpile-stewardship and nuclear-energy applications. The successful candidate is expected to play a major role in an ongoing experimental program that uses high-intensity neutron and photon beams to provide high-precision fission product-yield data and capture cross-section measurements. The program helps improve our understanding of nuclear reaction mechanisms and advance state-of-the-art nuclear fission models. This is a two-year Postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to three years.
