Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Nuclear Physics: University of Massachusetts Lowell
23 May 2017
The Nuclear Physics group at the University of Massachusetts Lowell has an immediate Post-Doctoral opening to help exploit new opportunities in experimental research both at major national user facilities and at our Radiation Laboratory. The current research in the group is in fundamental nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics, and in detector R&D and applied nuclear science using emerging scintillators and segmented Ge detectors. The Radiation Laboratory on campus has a 1-MW research reactor and a 5.5-MV CN Van de Graaff accelerator. The university is situated in the historic city of Lowell, on the Merrimack river, a half-hour northwest of Boston.
We are looking for recent PhD graduates who want to take challenging roles in the existing programs, with a primary focus on characterizing, optimizing and utilizing new scintillators for nuclear science, but who will also be encouraged to pursue their own research interests. A Ph.D in experimental nuclear physics or a closely related field is required. Experience with state-of-the-art nuclear detectors and techniques, as well as multi-parameter digital data acquisition and analysis of accelerator-based experiments, is desirable.
The successful candidates will be integral members of the research group of Professors Partha Chowdhury, C.J. (Kim) Lister and Andrew Rogers. They will be expected to mentor graduate and undergraduate students, with possible teaching opportunities in the department for qualified candidates.
The appointments will be for two years contingent on continued external funding.
The application process is fully online (Job Reference No. 0081854 at http://jobs.uml.edu)
Review of applications will begin June 15, 2017 and continue until the position is filled.
The University of Massachusetts Lowell is committed to increasing diversity in its faculty, staff, and student populations, as well as curriculum and support programs, while promoting an inclusive environment. We seek candidates who can contribute to that goal and encourage you to apply and to identify your strengths in this area.

Open PhD Position and CERN Fellow in Experimental Nuclear Physics at ISOLDE
31 March 2017
The recently formed EIBT-LS collaboration currently offers openings for a PhD position and one CERN Fellowship in experimental nuclear physics.
The EIBT-LS is based on a new type of ion trap for laser spectroscopy of short-lived radioactive nuclides. While preserving the high resolution of conventional collinear laser spectroscopy, this novel approach promises substantial gains in experimental sensitivity in order to study the most exotic nuclides available at contemporary radioactive ion beam facilities such as ISOLDE at CERN. This project is supported by an ERC Starting Grant.
The successful candidates will participate in the design, construction, and commissioning of the novel apparatus as well as the first online measurements. Their work at CERN will hence combine the fields of ion traps, laser spectroscopy, and the science for short-lived radionuclides.
The EIBT-LS group at CERN is closely linked to collaboration partners at the University of Greifswald, the University of Heidelberg, and the Technische Universität Darmstadt. The successful PhD candidate will be affiliated to one of these universities.
Interested candidates for these positions are invited to contact Stephan Malbrunot-Ettenauer (stephan.ettenauer@cern.ch).
Candidates for the PhD position should furthermore submit their applications at https://jobs.web.cern.ch/join-us/doctoral-student-programme under the project code ‘EP6282’. The CERN doctoral student programme is open for applications twice per year. The next open call has its deadline on 12 April 2017.
