Postdoctoral Positions - Global Talent Fellowships
06 November 2017
The Galician Institute of High Energy Physics, IGFAE, at the University of Santiago de Compostela, invites applications for research associate positions within its Global Talent Program.
This new program aims to recruit outstanding postdoctoral researchers capable of preparing and leading a competitive research project within the institute. The search is very broad and include High-Energy Particle Physics (both Theory, Phenomenology and Experiment), Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology, and Nuclear Physics. Opening new lines of research, that would complement those existing in the Institute at present, is encouraged.
The positions are for three years with additional funds for research and the possibility to supervise PhD students and postdocs. Permanent positions for those candidates succesful in an ERC application will be available by the (external) Oportunius program.
Interested candidates should submit
• A recent CV
• List of Publications
• Statement of Research Interest, including a small plan for the near future
• At least three letters of recommendation
The positions will be open until filled with the deadlines
• December 1st - to be considered in the December meeting of the selection board
• March 15th - to be considered in the April meeting of the selection board
IGFAE is a Maria de Maetzu Excellence Unit. The Global Talent Program belongs to this funding scheme. More information about the activities of the Institute can be found at
The Low Energy Nuclear Physics Group at the Physics Division of Argonne National Laboratory
has an opening for a post-doctoral research fellow in Experimental Nuclear Physics and Nuclear
Data. We are seeking an enthusiastic and well qualified candidate who can take a leading role in
an experimental program that utilizes the unique capabilities of Gammasphere spectrometer for
discrete and calorimetric gamma-ray studies following beta decay of neutron-rich nuclei
produced at the CARIBU facility. Experience in gamma-ray spectroscopy and GEANT simulations
is desirable. The initial appointment will be for two years, with possibility for additional one year
renewal contingent upon mutual agreement. Review of applications will begin immediately and
will continue until the position is filled. Interested candidates should send a curriculum vita with
a list of publications and the names of three contact references to Dr. M.P. Carpenter
(carpenter@anl.gov) and Dr. F.G. Kondev (kondev@anl.gov), Physics Division, Argonne National
Laboratory.
Nuclear theory postdoc opportunity at the University of North Carolina
03 November 2017
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) invites applications for a
two-year postdoctoral fellowship in nuclear theory (with Prof. Jonathan Engel),
to begin around September 1, 2018. Candidates should have experience in
nuclear-structure theory (or other kinds of many-body theory), nuclear
astrophysics, or fundamental symmetries in nuclei. It is anticipated that
research will focus on double-beta decay, r-process nucleosynthesis,
time-reversal noninvariance and atomic electric dipole moments, and nuclear
structure, including both ab initio methods and density functional theory.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests,
and the names of three people who can write letters of recommendation to the UNC
website at https://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/129835 by January 1, 2018.
Evaluation of applications will begin shortly thereafter.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is an equal opportunity and
affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration
for employment without regard to age, color, disability, gender, gender
expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, or status as a protected veteran.
Postdoctoral Associate in Theoretical Nuclear Physics at University of Minnesota
30 October 2017
The Nuclear Theory Group at the University of Minnesota expects to have a Postdoctoral Associate position available beginning in fall of 2018. The permanent group members are Joseph Kapusta and Yong Qian. The postdoctoral associate will carry out original research on one or more of the following topics: heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC, AdS/QCD, finite temperature field theory, neutron stars, neutrino astrophysics, supernova explosions and gammaray bursts, evolution and nucleosynthesis of massive stars, and chemical evolution of galaxies. Successful applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics, astronomy or related fields by beginning date of appointment. Appointments are made for one year and normally are renewable for a second, subject to funding and performance.
Applications must be submitted online. To be considered for this position, please click the Apply button and follow the instructions at https://z.umn.edu/Postdoc_TheoreticalNuclearPhysics. You will be given the opportunity to complete an online application for the position and attach a cover letter, resume and a list of references. In addition, three letters of recommendation should be sent by email to qianx007@umn.edu by December 1, 2017. Review of applications will begin December 1, 2017 and continue until the position is filled.
The University of Minnesota provides equal access to and opportunity in its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
