Postdoctoral Position at the Australian National University
23 July 2026
Dear Colleagues,
The Nuclear Reactions Group at the Australian National University is seeking applications for a postdoctoral position (Level A / Postdoctoral Fellow or Level B / Research Fellow) to support our research program at the Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility in Canberra, particularly in heavy-ion fusion and few- and multi-nucleon transfer.
This appointment has an expected end-date of June 2028; candidates with existing experience at postdoctoral level may be considered for appointment at the higher level (Level B).
The ideal candidate will hold a PhD (or be near completion) in physics or a related field, with demonstrated research expertise in experimental nuclear physics. They will have a strong record of publications, ideally in nuclear reactions research, and experience in laboratory experimentation and multiparameter data analysis. The candidate will be capable of developing innovative research ideas, contributing to collaborative projects, and supporting funding applications.
The closing date for applications is 12 August 2026.
Please direct any informal inquiries to Prof. Mahandanda Dasgupta (Mahananda.dasgupta@anu.edu.au).
