PhD School "Frontiers in Nuclear and Hadronic Physics
23 October 2017
It is now possible to register for the PhD School “Frontiers in Nuclear and Hadronic Physics” which will take place at the Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics in Florence from Feb, 26 2018 to Mar, 09 2018; Deadline for applications: Dec, 15 2017.
The school is primarily addressed to Ph.D. students in theoretical nuclear physics, but the participation of experimentalists and post-docs is also encouraged.
Let us stress the fact that there is no registration fee and that local support can be provided in a limited number of cases.
The school is characterized by rather long and pedagogical courses (6-10 hours), mostly using the blackboard.
The program is:
Francisco Barranco, University of Sevilla: Many-body theory and low energy spectroscopy 6h
Horst Lenske, University of Giessen: Theory and applications of nuclear direct reactions 10h
Gabriel Martinez Pinedo, Technical University, Darmstadt: Stellar nucleosynthesis 8h
Petr Navratil, TRIUMF, Vancouver: Ab initio methods in nuclear physics 10h
Cedric Simenel, Australian National University, Canberra: Microscopic dynamical approaches to nuclear reactions 6h

18 October 2017
The Theory Department at TRIUMF has a postdoctoral position available in
low-energy nuclear theory starting in the fall of 2018. More information can be found at:
Postdoctoral Research Associate position at Western Michigan University
09 October 2017
A Postdoctoral Research Associate position at the Nuclear Theory Program of Western Michigan University (WMU) is available for immediate opening. The selected candidate is expected to advance relativistic nuclear field theory based on fundamental concepts for nucleon-nucleon interaction and to apply it to modern aspects of nuclear structure investigated at next-generation rare isotope beam (RIB) facilities. The position is jointly funded by the NSF Career Program and Western Michigan University with an initial one year appointment, with the possibility of renewal up to additional one or two years based upon performance and funding.
Interested candidates are invited to apply via WMU server at the following link (Posting Number 0604170):
including a Cover Letter highlighting qualifications, a CV with a list of publications, a brief (1-2 pages) Research Statement, and three names and contact information of potential references. Review of applications will begin immediately and will conclude when the position is filled. For full consideration, a complete application should be received by November 4, 2017.
For additional information and questions regarding this position, please, contact Dr. Elena Litvinova at elena.litvinova@wmich.edu.
Assistant Professor of Physics position at Gonzaga University
09 October 2017
The Department of Physics at Gonzaga University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning in fall of 2018. The successful candidate will show a clear promise for developing and teaching innovative undergraduate lecture and laboratory courses across the curriculum in a liberal arts environment. The successful candidate will also be expected to carry out a research program, involving undergraduates in this work when possible. Women and minority candidates are particularly encouraged to apply.
